livingroom

A workspace with the texture of a home and the warmth of a café.

livingroom is Dublin’s smallest, most considered workspace. Twelve desks in a single beautifully fitted room, with coffee by Frenchette, in Portobello, Dublin 8.

livingroom fills a gap in the Dublin workspace market by providing a warm, informal, community-focused environment that contrasts sharply with traditional corporate co-working offerings. It caters to individuals who seek flexibility, comfort, and creative energy, without the distractions of working from their actual home.

Where larger spaces sell scale and amenities, livingroom sells atmosphere, design, neighbourhood, and the people in the room. The room runs on the assumption that twelve thoughtful members create more value, more often, than two hundred in a generic one.

It is a third space - neither office nor home, but holding the best of both.
