OVERVIEW


Salesforce Dublin – A New Benchmark in Green Architectural Excellence


Introduction

In the heart of Dublin, a pioneering project has redefined how green spaces can transform commercial interiors. Terapia Urbana, a leader in urban greening solutions, was commissioned to bring Salesforce's office to life through sustainable and innovative design in partnership with Scotscape Urban Greening for installation. This case study explores the creation of 180m² of columnar living walls, alongside four double-height living walls, which have reimagined the workspace and garnered international acclaim.


Design Vision and Objectives

The primary goal of this project was to seamlessly integrate living walls into Salesforce’s Dublin office, turning structural columns into dynamic green features. The objectives included:

  • Enhancing the Work Environment: Introduce natural elements to improve air quality, employee well-being, and the overall office atmosphere.
  • Creating a Visual Landmark: Establish a standout green feature within the office, demonstrating the potential of green architecture in modern workspaces.
  • Bespoke Systems: Design and implement custom irrigation and drainage solutions tailored to the building’s unique needs.
  • Optimised Lighting: Coordinate living wall lighting to ensure plant health, visual impact, and longevity.


Innovative Design and Execution

Terapia Urbana crafted 180m² of living walls, elegantly wrapping around the building’s structural columns, harmonising nature with architecture. The inclusion of four double-height living walls in the feature area elevated the design, creating a striking green space that immerses employees in nature.

Central to the project’s success was the development of bespoke irrigation and drainage systems, ensuring the health and sustainability of the living walls while seamlessly integrating into the building’s infrastructure.


Additionally, carefully coordinated lighting was installed to maintain optimal conditions for plant growth and vitality, showcasing a holistic approach to indoor green ecosystems.


Scotscape Urban Greening, known for their expertise in living wall installations, played a vital role in translating Terapia Urbana’s vision into reality. Their precision ensured the walls were installed to the highest standards, contributing to a dynamic and healthy workplace.

Impact and Recognition


The Salesforce Dublin project is a model of green architectural excellence, significantly enhancing the office's atmosphere and aesthetics. By integrating vibrant living green walls, the project demonstrates the powerful role green architecture can play within corporate settings.

The design’s innovation and execution were celebrated at the 2023 International Design Awards, where it won the silver award in the Breakout Space category. This prestigious accolade highlights the project’s outstanding contribution to sustainable design and its transformative impact on the workspace environment.


Conclusion: Redefining Commercial Green Spaces
