Capital Dock marks the final piece in the transformation of Dublin’s South Quays, completing the city’s waterfront edge along Sir John Rogerson’s Quay. Positioned at the confluence of the River Liffey and Grand Canal Dock, this landmark mixed-use campus brings together high-spec commercial offices and premium rental living in one of the capital’s most dynamic quarters.
The development comprises 32,000 sqm of Grade A office accommodation and 17,600 sqm of residential apartments, anchored by a suite of shared tenant amenities. MOLA Architecture was appointed as Interior Architects for both the commercial and residential components, delivering spaces of enduring quality and character.
The office element includes three LEED Gold-certified buildings. MOLA’s scope encompassed CAT A fit-out, alongside the design of key landlord areas such as receptions, lift lobbies and welfare facilities. Our approach balanced precision and adaptability, supporting future tenant fit-outs while upholding the development’s high design standards.
Within the residential offering, MOLA designed a collection of tenant amenity spaces that sit at the heart of Kennedy Wilson’s rental model. These include a cinema room, games lounge, gym, communal kitchen and lounge, remote working offices, and a management suite. Together, they foster a sense of community and provide the flexibility demanded by contemporary urban living.
Throughout, a restrained material palette and carefully detailed finishes express the development’s premium positioning while ensuring longevity and functionality. Capital Dock stands as a testament to integrated design thinking across commercial and residential realms.
