Irish Arts Center (IAC)
Spacesmith provided FF&E specification services for a new, 4-story, 21,700 sf cultural center on Manhattan’s West Side for the Irish Arts Center, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the image of Ireland and Irish America. The adaptive reuse project, designed by Davis Brody Bond with Fischer Dachs as theater consultant, fronts onto 11th Avenue in NYC’s “Hell’s Kitchen” and occupies the site of a former garage. Our team worked with the client and specialty consultants to design and specify FF&E that celebrates Irish culture and supports IAC’s multi-disciplinary programming centered around three core areas: performance, exhibition, and education.

Dublin Airport, Terminal 2
Terminal 2 forms the centrepiece of Dublin Airports’ extensive five-year investment programme.
The comprehensive masterplan Pascall+Watson created for Dublin Airport in 2005 considered over 100 individual projects. The most significant project, and the one that transformed the passenger experience, was the new 75,000m² Terminal 2 which Pascall+Watson led from concept through to completion.
