Third Mind Design

All types of seating can be found at the Hippodrome Paddy’s Sportsbook in London.

From tiered lounges facing the main screen to underpants thrones ticked away in activation areas.

Starting the year by looking back at one of our final projects from last year.

The original Grindstone in Dundrum, reworked to align with the language developed for Boland Mills and Dublin Landings. This was the first Grindstone, the one everyone knows, with an interior dating back to the brand’s early days.

The challenge was time. Closing for weeks wasn’t an option, so the entire fit-out was orchestrated around a two-day shutdown. Units and counters were designed and built off-site in our Blackrock workshop, then installed at speed. Doors closed Monday afternoon, stripped back that night, new units in by Tuesday, finishes and services completed Wednesday, and reopening first thing Thursday morning.

A full transformation in two days of downtime. A fitting moment, landing alongside Grindstone’s Architecture MasterPrize win and marking a full-circle evolution of the brand’s original home.

Furthermore, we heat treated these Synesso and Ubermilk machines with a gloss finish top coat instead of matte like the other 2 locations to make it unique.

James Toner 5 Year Old. Special Release.

The label tells the story before the cork is pulled. Toners’ iconic facade, etched into memory for anyone who has leaned on that bar, called in for one, or stayed longer than planned. Familiar streets, warm light, a place you always end up back at.

A bottle built on nostalgia, ritual, and the quiet promise that you’ll probably stop by over Christmas. More than once.
