Inside Meta’s Dynamic EMEA Headquarters

2024 Best of Year Winner for Office Transformation

This multiyear redevelopment project by Studios Architecture has seen some 670,000 square feet of rigid office space in a former bank headquarters completely transformed into a flexible, dynamic, and accessible headquarters for tech company Meta’s EMEA operations. The Dublin facility is anchored by a soaring atrium that connects its two constituent buildings. Balconies on the five upper floors provide visual and physical openness to the volume, which is surrounded by ground-floor social and dining spaces that enliven the plaza. That vibrancy is further enhanced by bridges linking the structures at different heights as well as a dramatic canary-yellow open staircase serving all levels.
