FRIENDS FIRST INSURANCE

Working with a highly structured stakeholder process merging design and business aspirations, MDO created a fresh, vibrant workplace for Friends First, one of Ireland’s oldest Life Assurance Companies. A series of “spines” run through the building, forming the anchors for dramatic spatial interventions.

​

These highly functional spines span the centre of each wing of the H-shaped office, hosting meeting rooms, tea stations, print resource areas, and breakout spaces. They also carry a vibrant yet controlled palette of coral and saffron, mixed with a variety of blues to create rich, memorable spaces for staff interaction.
