XL Insurance 8 Stephen’s Green
2,300 sq. m 21st century office in a protected structure
RKD’s vision for the project was to design a 21st Century Office building supporting the organisational requirements of XL whilst respecting the sensitive nature of the protected structure.
Design detail, materials and workmanship had to be of a standard that would be commensurate with and enhance the generous scale of the spaces in the original building.
Working areas are treated in a contemporary manner while the shared or meeting spaces are design to reflect the Georgian Architecture with modern detailing. A restrained but tailored approach to materiality and colour is used throughout to reflect both the XL Brand values and the original Architectural Detail.
In all a spectacular repurposing of one of the most important buildings on St Stephens Green has been achieved that will serve both XL and the building itself well into the future.
