The Pav is an integrated co-working, community and sustainable mobility hub on the seafront in Tramore designed to address isolation in remote work, gaps in community infrastructure, and barriers to low-carbon transport.
It combines (1) a shared workspace, (2) community programming, and (3) e-bike mobility in a single place-based model.
It is located in a repurposed retail unit overlooking Tramore beach, with glass frontage and flexible internal layout designed for multiple uses. During the day it operates as a co-working space for remote workers, with on-demand desk hire at affordable and inclusive price points. It incorporates an innovative retro-fit to include private phone pods, a small meeting room, and kitchen facilities to support day-to-day work.
Circular practices and materials have been adopted throughout, along with biophilic design to promote mental health and productivity.
Outside core working hours, the space transitions into a community hub for workshops, wellness activities, and events delivered by independent facilitators. This flexible use maximises underutilised retail space and supports year-round community activity in an area traditionally shaped by seasonal tourism.
A mobility layer is provided through an e-bike rental and lease-to-own service in partnership with Renew Enterprises, offering accessible, low-barrier options for local travel and commuting, including short-term trials to support behaviour change.
