Dublin Print Co interior fitout
The client was looking to transform their existing print shop into a double-size space by taking over the adjacent retail unit and extending it across while at the same time re-branding everything about it.
The idea was to create workshop-like space with exposed raw materials and a raw industrial look to it.
When we started pulling back the walls we discovered that there were on average 4-6 layers added to the wall over the years and behind all those layers was beautiful original brick wall and a mysterious door that leads to nothing. We used a combination of chipboard, birch-ply and mdf - which are all common building materials - to create a workshop space, furniture and signage that are both functional and eye catching.
The final product ended up being a very tall and dynamic space which is now heavily used by Dublin Print Co for all their printing and production needs.

The arch-counter unit prevents people from walking around the counter, which funnily enough was a big problem that the client had to deal with on daily basis
