Dubai design in Dublin
Dubai-based Serendipity By Design awarded prestigious contract.
Dubai-based, Irish-owned Serendipity By Design has been tasked with designing multiple F&B experiences on the top floors of the Central Plaza (Dublin’s former Central Bank). The interior architecture and design project will include the designated ground floor lift lobby and a 360-degree wrap-around terrace.
“The building’s new architecture elements designed by Henry J Lyons with the direction of owners Hines Ireland have made this building one of Ireland’s best,” said Serendipity By Design owner, Rebecca Gernon.
The tenant/operator of the venue, Zafar Shah, also has various business interests in Dubai.
