Simon Community

We were engaged to support the fit-out of the ground floor servery space and self-service coffee counter, as well as the full commercial kitchen located in the basement of the Dublin Simon Community’s Usher’s Island Health and Addiction Care Facility.

This facility, the first of its kind in Ireland, provides critical services such as detox, step-up and step-down intermediate care, and Blood Borne Virus treatment to adults experiencing homelessness.

The kitchen was equipped with a comprehensive Bertos cooking suite, featuring a bratt pan, fryers, griddles, and cooking ranges tailored to meet the demands of high-volume, diverse meal preparation. In addition to the cooking equipment, the project included purpose-designed preparation areas, dishwashing facilities, and dedicated cold and freezer storage rooms to ensure smooth operational flow and compliance with food safety standards.

Our team collaborated closely with the main contractor and design partners to deliver a functional, efficient, and hygienic food service environment. The ground floor servery and coffee counter were designed to provide quick and convenient access to refreshments for staff and clients, complementing the full kitchen’s capabilities below.

This project reflects a commitment to supporting health and addiction services with thoughtfully designed facilities that promote wellbeing through quality nutrition and seamless service delivery.
