Flutter Entertainment HQ

Covering the building’s exterior as well as the interior, Claremont’s design response considers how people will travel through as well as use the space. The design caters for activity-based work settings and large collaborative spaces, and includes creative details which embody Flutter and the personalities of its distinct brands.

The build of a new glazed atrium – effectively filling in the building’s U shape – has transformed the building’s façade and vastly improved the building’s connectivity and sense of cohesion. Housing staircases to the six floors and adding square footage to the building as a whole, the atrium is light, airy and offers a visible link to all floors.

Inclusion of a football pitch, complete with football tunnel, is one of the playful touches that guarantee a ‘brand welcome’ on the ground floor. As you move through the floors, distinct themes become apparent.  The first floor is a team space with a combination of formal meeting and quiet rooms. The second floor is for more technical work with a focus on studio spaces and a mock-up shop to replicate Flutter’s different retail environments, while the fourth floor is home to collaboration settings and individual touchdown spaces.  The fifth floor houses a hugely modernised café complete with a relaxation and gaming area, while the sixth floor, which boasts striking views of the Wicklow Mountains, is a collaboration zone for meetings, company gatherings and social activities alike.

By moving away from owned desks in favour of more shared spaces that are rich in amenity and choice, Claremont’s design has created a desirable destination that prioritises shared experiences, collaboration and inclusivity and recognises the office has to be a  place for relaxation as well as work. The design will comfortably accommodate up to 1800 people, based on 60% of the workforce being in the office at any one time.
