About the Project
The 360 Co is a Dublin-based virtual tour and 360° photography company, helping businesses bring their spaces to life online. From fine art galleries and luxury hotels to restaurants and retail showrooms, the platform delivers immersive, interactive experiences that put visitors right in the room — no matter where they are in the world.
A Standout Example: Botanical Fusion
One of the most notable tours on the platform is the Botanical Fusion exhibition for Gerard Byrne Studio in Ranelagh, Dublin — launched in June 2020 to coincide with UN World Environment Day. When the physical gallery closed during the pandemic, the virtual tour gave the exhibition a second life and a global audience.
- 42 botanical paintings across four gallery rooms, photographed in super-high resolution
- Per-painting pop-up windows with title, canvas size, medium, and a magnify feature
- Audio introductions and artist commentary embedded throughout
- Artist introduction video on the customised intro screen
- Social sharing, Google Reviews, and TripAdvisor links integrated into the tour
- Press coverage displayed inline within the gallery space
The Broader Platform
Beyond individual tours, The 360 Co website serves as a portfolio and lead generation platform for the business, showcasing a diverse range of virtual tour projects across hospitality, retail, healthcare, and culture.
- Virtual Tour Gallery — an interactive showcase of completed tours across industries
- 360° Photography — high-resolution spherical photography for Google Street View and social platforms
- Still Photography — complementary commercial photography services
- Enquiry System — custom contact and project enquiry forms feeding into the CMS

I designed and developed the website for The 360 Co through Eden Studios, building a platform that showcases their work as compellingly as the tours themselves.
- Website design and front-end development
