Dublin’s historic architecture is a cornerstone of its identity—and today, many of these heritage structures are being reimagined as cutting-edge workplaces. From Google’s Boland’s Mill to Salesforce’s Dublin HQ, Structure Tone Dublin is leading the transformation, blending craftsmanship with modern engineering. Project Director Des O’Toole shares insights into the challenges and rewards of working within protected buildings—matching original materials, navigating complex logistics, and collaborating with visionary clients to preserve the city’s architectural legacy while shaping its future.
Pavarini North East proudly completed Connecticut’s first Wegmans supermarket—a 94,000sf, two-story retail destination in Norwalk that opened in July 2025. The project also includes an 8,800sf retail whitebox for future tenants and a cast-in-place, post-tension parking garage with 550 spaces and rooftop solar panels. Inside, the new store offers a second-floor seating area, fresh food counters, and a full grocery experience—all reflecting Wegmans’ signature blend of quality, convenience, and sustainability.
Healthcare projects demand precision, speed, and flexibility—and the University Health Wheatley Center was no exception. Built by Structure Tone Southwest on a 15,200sf Greenfield site, the new facility was designed to expand access to care for historically underserved neighborhoods. Through close collaboration, creative problem-solving, and community commitment, the team delivered more than a building—it delivered a vital new resource for San Antonio’s residents.
Located at 7 Hudson Square, The Walt Disney Company’s new headquarters redefines what it means to work in media. Built by Structure Tone New York, the project transforms an entire city block into a vertically integrated, media-ready campus designed for broadcast, digital, and editorial excellence. Two 320-foot towers connected by the Great Room form the creative core, surrounded by flexible studios, newsrooms, and terraces that foster collaboration and innovation.
