the story

This project truly defines the term ‘labour of love’ by everyone involved. This well-loved, family-run Irish pub has been a neighbourhood favourite for over 30 years, and was ready for a well-deserve rejuvenation. The collective goal throughout the entirety of the design + construction process was to refresh + modernize the space without compromising it’s inviting, quirky and traditional atmosphere!

features

Tufted green leather booths and an impressive walnut bar create a classy, warm and timeless feel. The ever-popular ‘Snug’ section evokes a cozy living room vibe, with library mouldings and custom wing-backed plaid booths for a touch of character + charm. Family photos of past generations adorn the walls in thoughtfully scattered arrangements, with Celtic-patterned screens tastefully defining various sections of the pub.

the story

With a few pops of colour injected in just the right places, this enthusiastic tech team is set to create in this fresh new space.  With a specific budget and open mind in hand, our clients were able to achieve the bright and open-concept space they were after, to promote communication and collaboration.  Amidst the design process, we were able to highlight specific feature areas to maintain a budget-friendly project overall.

features

This 3,700 sq.ft. space includes open-concept workstation spaces, as well as a row of enclosed offices and meeting rooms with angled glass fronts to create a dynamic facade.  With an offset carpet install down the main path of travel, and pops of colour to suit the company's marketing scheme, this space packs a punch to create a lasting impression on both employees and visitors alike.

the story

What was once a tired, neighbourhood mall with a limited tenant mix is now a completely revitalised and expanded social shopping hub in the heart of Surrey.  The Guildford Town Centre Expansion + Renovation spanned 4 years, opening August 2013, with the most influential and driven team a budding designer could ever ask for.  Head out and treat yourself, if you haven't already!

the story

The New Centre for Digital Media was the ultimate collaborative venture between 4 local post-secondary institutions, creating an inspiring space to house their new Masters of Digital Media program. The 4-storey building was thoughtfully planned with large multi-purpose classrooms, collaborative project + technical spaces for students to perfect their craft, as well as student housing throughout the top 3 floors.
