Raising the bar on Dublin office design, early innovators Iconic Offices have announced their latest flexible workspace location is registered to pursue WELL Certification under WELL v2, a building standard that represents the future of office design.

Iconic Offices, Ireland’s leading flexible workspace provider, today announced they are set to open a brand new ‘Grade A’ office building occupying a prime city centre location on the corner of South Richmond and Lennox Street in Dublin 2.

Revolutionising the Future of Work:

In the last 20 years, the modern office has undergone numerous evolutions. The early 2000s saw the demise of mass cubicles and the rise of open floorplans, while 2016 brought waves of foosball and ping pong tables to tech offices everywhere. Although office design trends come and go, one thing that won’t change is the impact the office environment has on employee health and well-being.

With this front of mind, The Lennox Building is going one step further, and pursuing The WELL Building Standard under WELL v2, placing the well-being and productivity of its members at the heart of the design. WELL v2 is the world’s first building standard that focuses on advancing health and wellness experiences in buildings globally, creating spaces where people are happier, healthier and more productive.

The finishes, fittings and design approach are all carefully aligned with Iconic Offices’ WELL Building Standard targets, and the fit-out is designed to achieve WELL Certification to meet health and wellness goals. Upon completion, this Iconic Offices project is set to be the first WELL v2 Certified flexible workspace in Ireland and one of the first of its kind in Europe.
