A&L Goodbody

Located in the heart of Dublin’s Docklands, 25 North Wall Quay has been transformed into Ireland’s first net zero carbon office, serving as a cutting-edge, smart and sustainable headquarters for A&L Goodbody. Designer Group is proud to have contributed to this landmark redevelopment for IPUT Real Estate Dublin, delivering the full scope of mechanical and electrical (M&E) installations.

Our scope of works included the integration of smart building management systems, energy-efficient HVAC installations, and electrical power distribution — all aligned with the project’s ambitious sustainability goals. Working closely with project partners, we ensured the seamless delivery of critical systems such as air-source heat pumps, PV panels, lighting, ventilation, and life-safety infrastructure, enabling the building’s transition to net-zero carbon operation.

The redevelopment sets a new benchmark for sustainability and workplace design. Designed to minimise environmental impact and optimise operational efficiency, the project achieved a 60% reduction in embodied carbon through the strategic reuse of structural elements, while 90% of construction waste was diverted from landfill. The integration of smart systems, air-source heat pumps, photovoltaic (PV) panels and WELL/LEED-ready features ensures long-term energy performance and environmental resilience.
