For over 30 years, Microsoft has enjoyed a long and successful presence in Ireland. For most of that time, several different employee groups were dispersed across multiple buildings around Dublin, making collaboration and community building difficult.

Gensler set out to create a uniquely inspiring work environment; a space that is different from all other Microsoft spaces, where great work could be achieved, away from common, traditional designs that were seen in other offices – taking Microsoft’s design language to a new level.
With 2,000 employees, 72 nationalities, and multiple business groups, this landmark campus enables employees to come together as ‘One Microsoft’, working together to empower every individual and organisation on the planet to achieve more.

The result is one of the most exciting projects within Microsoft’s global portfolio. A campus that encourages chance encounters and purposeful collisions between people, allowing them to connect and be innovative whilst at the same time strengthening customer relationships and building connections with the local community. Over 70 experts from across Gensler, ranging from landscape designers to brand specialists to strategists, helped bring the aspirational concept to life.
