CASE STUDY Shelbourne Buildings
Client:
IPUT / Whitney Moore
Location:
No. 2 Shelbourne Buildings, Ballsbridge
Project Size:
16,000 sqft 14 weeks
Duration:
Ardmac was appointed by IPUT Real Estate Dublin on behalf of Whitney Moore to deliver a full strip-out and high-end CAT B fit-out across the third and fourth floors of No. 2 Shelbourne Buildings in Ballsbridge. This relocation marked only the second time in Whitney Moore’s 108- year history that the firm had moved offices, making it essential to get every detail absolutely right. The project began with a full strip-out back to grey box condition, retaining only the raised access floors. All existing services and external finishes were removed and craned down from the fourth-floor plant area to prepare the space for a complete transformation. The resulting CAT B fit-out features a refined reception area, client-facing meeting rooms, 35 one- and two- person private offices, open-plan workspaces, ancillary support zones, and external entertaining areas. Acoustic performance was a key consideration, with all offices and meeting rooms designed to ensure the privacy and confidentiality essential in a solicitor’s practice. Bespoke finishes and detailing were integrated throughout to reflect Whitney Moore’s brand and heritage.
Working in a live, noise-sensitive building presented logistical challenges. Ardmac implemented an external hoist system to manage materials access and reduce disruption to existing tenants. Careful planning and coordination ensured smooth execution despite the constraints. The project was completed on time and to an exceptional standard, with both IPUT and Whitney Moore praising the final result and the collaborative, client-focused approach. The new workspace successfully balances functionality, discretion, and modern design—supporting Whitney Moore’s continued success in their new home.
“Working with Ardmac was a seamless process. From start to finish, their attention to detail and commitment to delivering a high end, quality finish was impressive. At every juncture the team were professional, transparent and a truly collaborative specialist partner.’
