CASE STUDY Dentons, Kildare Street
Client:
Dentons Ireland LLP 20 Kildare Street, Dublin
Location:
Project Size:
18,000 sqft 16 weeks
Duration:
Dentons, the world’s largest law firm, relocated to their new Irish headquarters at the listed 20 Kildare Street, occupying the ground and first floors. Ardmac was appointed as Management Contractor through a competitive process, providing design development support, buildability reviews, programming, and value engineering, ultimately agreeing on a fixed-price delivery. The CAT B fit-out comprised open-plan workstations, private offices, meeting rooms, focus and phone booths, café and coffee points, comms room, and ancillary storage including lockers. Key architectural features included specialist joinery, acoustic glazed partitions, and high-spec timber and terrazzo finishes. Works involved selective demounting of suspended ceilings to enable partition construction, installation of modular and plasterboard ceilings, raised access floor modifications, and full mechanical and electrical packages. Delivered in two phases under a fast-track programme, Ardmac enabled Dentons to occupy the ground floor pre- Christmas. The project required meticulous planning and coordination, working within a live building and a tight city-centre location, while preserving the listed status of the property.
Ardmac also facilitated detailed coordination with other stakeholders to ensure smooth operations and minimal disruption. Dentons targeted both LEED v4 Gold and WELL v2 certification, demanding precision and sustainable practices throughout. Ardmac also managed the integration of client-direct packages, including AV installations, secure IT systems, and electronic access control, ensuring full functionality in a live operational setting while maintaining high performance standards. Through a collaborative and detail-driven approach, Ardmac delivered a high-performance, future-focused workspace that reflects Dentons’ global brand while supporting flexibility, privacy, and well-being for their staff and clients. “Ardmac assisted at every turn in what was a relatively complex project involving new build and listed structures. We are delighted with the quality of finishes and that the project was delivered on time and on budget. The Ardmac team were most professional at all times and a pleasure to deal with.’ - Donal Blake, Linesight
