The Garden of Eden

Situated along the River Liffey at North Wall Quay, North Dock, Dublin 1, the North Office Dock Building is a striking example of modern architecture. Its harmonious integration with the riverfront offers panoramic views that captivate visitors. The tranquil currents of the River Liffey complement the building's aesthetic, creating a dynamic interplay between natural elements and urban sophistication, epitomizing Dublin's waterfront allure.

The concept of our building was inspired by the graceful flow of the River Liffey, echoing its ripple effect and organic movement. From the serene ground floor, with its open courtyard overlooking the River Liffey, a seamless flow of calming energy extends through our lobby to the inspiring biophilic restaurant. Tranquil spaces like the salt cave and Reiki massage room embody our concept's peaceful ambiance. Bedrooms and the juice bar offer river views and incorporate biophilic design, blending indoor and outdoor spaces. Our interactive urban garden on the top floor invites visitors to connect with nature. Our haven fosters well-being and community, providing an oasis from the city's bustle.
