coming, inclusive, accessible, and safe learning environment that incorporates technological advances and the digitisation of books.

This enabled greater collaborative and activity-based working, which aligns with the banks’ approach to the new hybrid working model. The ‘Trail-path’ concept addresses the new way people work, meet, collaborate and recognises how this has changed. The design allows for bookable meeting rooms in a range of formats from intimate 4-6
person spaces, open plan collaboration zones to high tech townhall configurations. The carefully selected materials, timber joinery, lighting and furniture was choreographed to harmonise the space and envelop the user with a strong sense of home comforts.
Reddy A+U continue to have a strong relationship with Bank of Ireland and have commitments to continue this design approach in future pipeline projects.
