Project Overview:
As part of MM Capital’s strategic repositioning of Donnybrook House, Built were appointed to deliver a full office fit-out for Spaces, a global provider of flexible workspaces within the IWG network. The unit formed one of four newly created tenancies following the successful subdivision of oversized floorplates, a move designed to maximise rental potential and meet the evolving demands of hybrid working.
The project was delivered using Built’s BUILT365 methodology, which emphasises collaboration, zero-disruption execution, and tailored delivery in live urban environments.
Client Vision & Context:
MM Capital’s goal was to create smaller, high-quality office units that catered to companies seeking agile, tech-enabled environments for reduced on-site workforces. The Spaces fit-out was a key element of this repositioning strategy - transforming a newly subdivided floorplate into a ready-to-let workspace designed for adaptability, comfort and modern collaboration.
Key Challenges:
One of the major challenges during this project was the complex mechanical and electrical installation within a cellular steel roof deck - a confined and heavily serviced environment that demanded meticulous coordination between design teams and on-site trades. The live nature of the building further heightened the importance of precision planning, just-in-time logistics, and non-disruptive scheduling.​
​
Project Delivery & Outcomes:
Built delivered the fit-out on programme and to budget, meeting high standards of finish and service integration. The workspace includes open-plan zones, collaboration areas, acoustic treatments and energy-efficient M&E systems tailored to hybrid usage. The successful completion of this unit not only met Spaces’ global specification but also fulfilled Mm Capital’s wider strategy to re-let the building with long-term, high-quality tenants.
The fit-out reinforced Built’s reputation as a trusted delivery partner - deepening relationships with new and existing stakeholders and proving the effectiveness of BUILT365 in complex commercial environments.
​
Innovative Solutions Implemented:
Built Interiors leveraged its expertise in design and construction to streamline the project execution process. By adopting a design-and-build approach, the company ensured seamless coordination among all stakeholders, from initial conceptualisation to final handover. This holistic approach allowed for efficient problem-solving and timely decision-making, essential for overcoming project hurdles.​
​​
Conclusion:
This project illustrates how strategic office subdivision, combined with expert fit-out delivery, can reshape legacy buildings for the future of work. The Spaces tenancy now operates from a high-performance, adaptable workspace that reflects modern occupier needs, delivered by Built in alignment with Mm Capital’s commercial vision.
