Airbnb has opened a new international headquarters in Dublin, which it has designed in collaboration with local architect Heneghan Peng.

It is the first time that Airbnb has designed the architectural layout of an interior space, as the building, now known as The Warehouse, was just a shell before the company moved in.

Covering 4000m2 The Warehouse is a large building, as many of Airbnb’s offices are. When designing the new space the company has taken learnings from its Portland, US office, where employee visibility was an issue as there were so many flexible spaces people couldn’t be easily found.
