ESG in Office Interior Design
Creating Sustainable Workplaces
We will work with you to create an energy-efficient workplace with sustainable materials, minimising the impact you’re having on the environment.
When introducing a new Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) strategy, it can be easy to overlook your office design. However, there are several ways you can incorporate environmentally friendly elements into a design and improve the workplace experience for your employees. Our interior designers can help you to create an office design with an ESG strategy in mind, ensuring the space is calm, efficient and comfortable.
There are many ways you can implement ESG best practices into your office design; such as the lighting and energy efficiency, air ratings, smart technology and remote data analysis, sustainable materials and wellness areas. There are other simple steps as well such as installing PIR light sensors and providing bike-to-work facilities will help to lower energy consumption and reduce carbon emissions, and they are easy to incorporate into your office design. In addition to the environmental aspect of an ESG strategy, the social aspect is something you should focus on in your workspace. Investing in better working conditions for your employees by creating spaces that cater to specific needs and including biophilic elements into your design, for example, can have a positive impact on employee wellbeing and productivity.

"Great design isn’t about having good taste — it’s about knowing how to bring it all together.” - Joanne Kelly, Creative Director
“We worked with Think Contemporary for the redesign and renovation of our leisure centre and we couldn’t be happier with the service provided. Joanne and her team delivered a friendly and professional service, driving the project from start to finish with innovative ideas, concepts and excellent project management. They created a modern and stylish interior to our centre that has allowed us to appeal to a wider audience and enhance our business. We are extremely pleased with the outcome and would happily recommend them.”

“Think Contemporary provided the perfect mix of professional on-trend advice, support, leadership, reliability and availability at all times. They managed to deliver a wow factor with all our spaces and were excellent to deal with on all aspects including budget, delivery dates, and driving the project while keeping a close relationship with us at all times. We didn't know what to expect from interior design in Ireland but they surpassed our expectations and we could not recommend them more.”
Neil Collins
HR Director, SAON GROUP
It was a pleasure working with Think Contemporary on the design of Tourism Ireland’s new office. Relocating was a stressful process in itself, but your team made the transition feel smooth and well managed from start to finish. The level of detail brought to the design stage ensured accurate cost planning and contributed to a seamless delivery on site. Your guidance throughout the works was invaluable, and your ability to coordinate effectively with our architects and builders made the entire process clear, efficient and easy to navigate. We had complete confidence in your oversight at every stage and always felt informed and supported. Professional, responsive, attentive and genuinely enjoyable to work with.

Have You Considered?
Functionality & Spatial Planning
Before any design begins, map how your team operates day to day. Where do people need focus versus collaboration, how often are meeting rooms really used, what teams need proximity to each other. Many projects default to trends or assumptions, which leads to underused spaces and friction in daily use. A short internal audit or staff consultation early on will prevent costly reworking later.
Electrical & IT Strategy
Power, data and AV are often treated as secondary, but they are one of the hardest things to correct once installed. Think through desk layouts, meeting room tech, screen locations, charging points and future flexibility from the outset. Underestimating this leads to visible cabling, poorly placed floor boxes and expensive retrofits.
Decision Making & Approvals
Office projects stall when decisions are delayed or too many stakeholders are involved without clear responsibility. Agree early on who signs off on layouts, budgets and finishes, and set realistic timelines for approvals. A clear decision structure keeps the project moving and avoids rushed or compromised choices later.
Growth Planning
Designing only for your current team size or structure can date the space quickly. Consider how the office might need to adapt over the next three to five years. Flexible layouts, modular furniture and adaptable meeting spaces allow the workplace to evolve without requiring a full redesign.
