'Living and working in under 500 square feet, the client had been pushing the limits of what his apartment, in its current configuration, would accommodate. Between his office needs, his many toys and quirky art pieces, the apartment was [crowded] and nothing had a place. [We were tasked with mitigating the existing clutter, while [defining] and [organizing] the functional spaces for cooking, cleaning, dressing and sleeping - lending some visual clarity to the environment.
A restrained minimal palette would help make the small home an inviting retreat from the city below. The solution was ultimately about exploiting every opportunity for storage, and then combining those spaces and the kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping loft into an intricately sculpted wood-paneled central service core. The space outside of the core area would remain as flexible as possible, and all surfaces and cabinetry would be finished in a high-gloss white to emphasize their adaptability. Millwork was installed over the entire east wall and concealed with no visible hardware. A walk-in closet was created by meticulous detailing of the sleeping loft to create the necessary clearance for [the client's] 6’-2” head-height. The end result is a highly efficient, flexible living space that reorganizes the modest floor plan to accommodate the space demands of both the client’s professional work and personal lifestyle. The finished apartment feels airy, open and personal.'

Located in the Docklands neighborhood of Dublin, the O2 (now known as the 3Arena) is a 14,500 seat capacity amphitheatre. 'The Point Depot, as the venue was originally known, was built by the Great Southern and Western Railway and started life as a Victorian warehouse and railway depot. The building was of great importance at the time due to its location at the meeting point of the North and East Walls (hence its name).'
Architecture firm JPDA was hired to create three unique branded experiences which embodied O2's (the venue's corporate sponsor) technological savvy and glitz. Two of those elements - the concierge desk (canopied by a programmable LED mesh), and suspended wet bar with fiber optic chandeliers, are shown here.
