Ormeau Baths

Ormeau Baths is a co-working space in a Grade B1 listed building in Belfast. The first phase was completed in 2018; this second phase added space for more businesses, across many sectors, to start and grow. Its modern, comfortable feel in every area is a large part of why the space has been so successful.

We worked with Terry Design and Host Design to make the space open, bright and inspiring. The building has an enormous amount of natural light, so the scheme was designed to complement it rather than compete, with decorative fittings from Spain's Marset and Italy's Luceplan.

Light is layered throughout. Simple track with powerful spotlights provides the general light. Floor and table lamps are spaced to give ambience and focal points in each area, and large wall lights on the bigger walls keep the overall atmosphere bright as daylight fades.

Co-working spaces and offices in historic Mallorcan buildings often share these conditions: generous windows, high ceilings and walls that should not be chased for new cables. Track, lamps and wall lights, layered with care, give flexibility without fighting the building.
