The Chocolate Factory: The Neighbourhood Workspace
The Chocolate Factory is a lifestyle focused workspace that puts people at the heart of the design. From secure bike facilities to yoga studios and a rooftop garden, The Chocolate Factory has wellness covered. Two cafés and an outdoor courtyard create an exciting new culinary experience for the Dublin 1 area. Flexible workspaces including hot desks, hybrid facilities, meeting zones and event spaces cater to a varying workforce. The considered and vibrant design provides beauty and inspiration to all who visit.
The use of fabric to alter, enhance and soften the structural fabric of a building has provided inspiration and informed the proposed design. This has translated to adding texture, colour and volume to the existing grid like structure to create a more welcoming and dynamic space.
