Kainos Belfast

We are delighted to have been involved in the extension of Kainos’ Belfast Headquarters into the neighbouring Bank of Ireland building. The new area included collaboration space, break out spaces, flexible working areas and meeting rooms which all aligned with their vision for a more collaborative approach to work. 

We were involved in this project from concept through to completion and alongside the rest of the design team delivered a creative space for Kainos’ valued team to enjoy.

Coordination was particularly important on this project as all MEP services on the ground floor were exposed. We worked closely with Todd Architects to ensure their vision for the look and feel of these spaces was achieved through workshops and exchanges of our MEP Revit model.

We worked closely with the FM and Telecoms teams at Kainos to keep disruption to a minimum as the existing space was in use throughout the refurbishment project. We carefully planned shutdowns and connections to existing services such as IT infrastructure, fire & security services and all mechanical services to the plantroom.

The vision for the project was to create an environment that was flexible with plenty of space that encouraged collaboration and movement throughout the building. Air quality, lighting and sustainability had to be considered in our designs. The building boasts industry leading Wi-Fi infrastructure, energy efficient lighting, zonal controls for MEP systems and efficient HVAC systems that cater to many different uses of the space. The building delivers seamless connectivity of power, network and presentation facilities in all the spaces.
