CDB Aviation HQ
The project embodies CDB Aviation’s professional, authentic culture and its appreciation of craft, design, and a balanced environment. Integral to the design is a sense of generosity of space, with clean, considered detailing that promotes ease of movement and natural flow.
CDB Aviation engaged Henry J Lyons to design the fitout of its new flagship headquarters at a prominent location on the southside of the river Liffey, with views northwards of the river and Dublin’s iconic Customs House. Henry J Lyons was tasked with reworking Overlooking the River Liffey, the Docklands and the Customs House, the building was chosen for the views from its penthouse floor. the 2,500m² (26,909 sq ft) penthouse floor-plate to accommodate a team of up to eighty people, providing them with a generous reception space, open plan workspaces, an executive lounge, a meeting room suite, collaboration and breakout areas, cellular offices, a canteen/auditorium, and changing rooms. The brief called for a design that would complement the existing building and support CDB Aviation’s highly professional and experienced team. Given the client-facing nature of CDB’s operations, the main entrance reception – or ‘face’ of the business – was key to the success of the project.
