the story

This incredible space is home to the third location of the family-run Bow & Stern Restaurant — a milestone marking meaningful and exciting growth for the brand. The design and construction journey was truly dynamic and collaborative, with multiple generations of the family contributing ideas, encouragement, and heartfelt perspective on what this expansion represented.

Together, we brought to life a vision rooted in rich wood tones and layered greenery, thoughtfully intersected with whimsical ocean-inspired details woven throughout the space.

features

Wood slat feature walls flow throughout the interior, framing oversized palms and ferns that soften and energize the space. Ambient, layered lighting enhances a bold gold-and-green bar that grounds the design, highlighted by a statement linear oyster bar on full display. In the dining room, an 18-foot hand-painted mermaid mural creates an unforgettable focal point, while the washroom hallways deliver a lively punch of colour with nostalgic retro undertones.

the story

Guided by a strong industrial, Brooklyn-inspired direction, our open-minded development clients empowered us to fully explore the concept and obsess over the finer details. The collaborative energy carried through every phase, with both project management and subtrade teams taking pride in assembling such a unique and character-driven space.

features

Raw polished concrete and brick veneer accents infuse the office with layered industrial character. A statement boardroom features a handcrafted timber table grounded by an iron A-frame base, complemented by pipe-inspired barn doors that discreetly conceal a recessed television.

In contrast, a bold black-and-white kitchen showcases vintage-inspired Smeg appliances and open shelving — transforming casual coffee breaks into a hub of connection and camaraderie.

the story

This space marked an exciting expansion for Afterglow Medical Aesthetics as the second clinic in their newly established franchise. The design process was collaborative, creative, and seamless, supported by an incredible client team who fully embraced our vision — right down to the finest details. Our goal was to curate intentional moments throughout the space, creating distinctive pockets of interest that feel memorable and magnetic to clients.

With soaring open ceilings and a light-filled entry along a prominent North Vancouver corridor, the space immediately makes a statement. A striking feature wall of backlit hexagon panels — crafted from recycled chopsticks by ChopValue — anchors the entry with texture and purpose.

The open reception showcases a custom wood display designed to highlight retail products, accented with integrated lighting that echoes the architectural service desk. Bright, airy treatment rooms layered with warm gold details create a clean yet sophisticated aesthetic, while a large-scale “selfie” mirror in the corridor invites clients to capture a moment before they head out.

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.

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.
