Workplace Craft

The fit-out sector is entering a more considered phase, where quality of execution matters as much as creative ambition. This edition reflects a broader editorial focus on how workplaces are being shaped through craft, coordination, and long-term thinking.

Looking back at last year’s highlights, ‘COADY Architects and Flynn win Fit Out Project of the Year – Large Office over €7.5 million at the Fit Out Awards’ marked a defining moment for large-scale, sustainable workplace delivery. That benchmark now sets the tone as the sector moves decisively towards the 2026 awards cycle and rising expectations around scale and performance.

Meanwhile, ‘TikTok Dublin Office comes to life with vibrant SAS Ceiling Solutions’ shows how specialist systems and detailing can elevate both functionality and experience. It underscores the growing role of technical fit-out elements in shaping identity, comfort, and collaboration.

Elsewhere, ‘Cafe Solutions expands tailored furniture support for Perth hospitality fit-outs’ reflects the operational realities facing fast-moving hospitality environments. The story highlights how adaptability, consistency, and delivery reliability are becoming central to fit-out decision-making.

These stories reveal a sector increasingly defined by discipline as much as design. Workplace craft is emerging as the common thread that connects ambition with enduring value.
