The challenges
Dublin-based aviation company Goshawk moved into their brand-new office located in One Molesworth Street. The project consisted of the interior design of the top floor of the building including office fit-out with reception space, four external meeting rooms, nine internal meeting rooms, open space with sit-stand desks, casual space, interactive space, multi-functioning auditorium space, canteen, wellness room and changing rooms. Goshawk challenged architects to design an environment which supports the natural collaborative working ethos within the organisation.
The solutions
The office fit-out design reflects and incorporates the aviation business avoiding the typical square box office space and including the rotation of the aeroplane propellers in the concept. This concept design was incorporated into the ceiling, flooring and room design.
SAS International ceiling rafts were installed into the meeting rooms, directly suspended from the structural soffit to allow for energy efficient movement of air for thermal-mass-cooling. Chosen for its acoustic properties, SAS600 offers acoustic performance tailored to interior requirements through absorptive and reflective techniques.
The visually engaging SAS500 was selected for the open place office zones and circulation areas. This system conceals M&E services and offers an attractive acoustic ceiling. Ideal for large open plan offices, SAS International baffles effectively controls unwanted noise through the absorption of redundant sounds.
Both systems supplied to the One Molesworth Street project were in a pre-coat timber effect to achieve an organic interior aesthetic, creating a striking feature ceiling.
Through the products supplied by SAS International, the tones and effects of SAS products reinforced the natural and contemporary theme of the interior.
