This extremely compact ~240sq/ft space in the heart of Whistler Village is glazed on 3 of the 4 sides. The design of this space took advantage of the existing glazing by treating the entire space as an exhibit. Guests can enter and interact during business hours. After-hours the space is lit up and all information can be read from the large display panels and the very large - transparent video screen. A very successful execution for a very compact and challenging space.

We were responsible for designing, building and installing kiosks for Club Intrawest. Each kiosk was designed to capture the essence of each timeshare location and promote local offers. Each kiosk was shipped to it’s location and assembled the same day. These kiosks proved to be very effective at helping to engage customers and generate sales leads.
The Kiosks were installed in the following 9 locations

Ontario Place (Toronto)
Queens Quay (Toronto)
Blue Mountain (Ontario)

Working directly with both ARK Bokhandel and Norco Interior, we were responsible for developing a new sub-brand for this enormously successful Norwegian bookstore chain.
The first aspect of this project involved developing a brand strategy for this new addition to ARK's 60+ bookstores. We determined that a new "Sub-brand" needed to be developed in order to build on and not dilute ARK's strong and loyal customer base. Working within the existing brand guidelines, we developed a new identity for the "Pocket book" concept store. We then developed all the information and merchandising tools used in the shops. A unique "Top 10" display was developed to put an extra emphasis on the most popular books.

Weighs 3,800kg and holds 2,880 books.

SeaShack is a mid 80’s spec home that is situated on a great lot and and benefitted from an abundance of natural light. The home lacked a strong expression and was in need of opening up and an update. The interior renovation expanded on the already great view and natural light. The clean yet somewhat rustic finishings tie the home together in a cohesive, very livable way.

The Greenway, was a proposed mixed use (retail, restaurant, residential) condominium project that encompasses approximately 30,000 sq.ft. The project was located in the absolute historical heart of Vancouver. The site is comprised of 2 lots. The first is the century old “Boulder Hotel” located on the corner of Carrall and Cordova Street. The 2nd lot is the “Pig and Whistle” pub located directly adjacent on Cordova Street. The 2 lots will be the future home of the ± 24 unit, boutique condominium project, “The Greenway”
The name of the project came from the pedestrian corridor that runs past the site on Carrall Street. This project was conceived at a time when Gastown was experiencing a renaissance and renewal. Unfortunately the project was never completed.

Loft renovation: Upgrades include a new kitchen, an amazing new bathroom, BBQ area and tons of built in storage.
Serious Heritage: Bodega Studios was originally built as a brothel in 1889, making it Vancouver’s second oldest building. This European inspired brick building is filled with loads of natural light, charm and character that few heritage buildings can offer.
In 1992, award winning architects Acton Ostry put their stamp on Gastown by converting the Bodega into 8 live/ work & 4 commercial studios. With over 55 feet of exposed brick, original fir floors, 3 massive arched sash windows, over-height ceilings, and an enormous skylight, this loft is truly something special. The Location: Perfectly situated in the heart of the original city, on the new Carrall St. Greenway, just steps to everything Gastown has to offer - from shopping, drinks & dinning to taking the dog for a stroll. The Lifestyle: Heritage loft living at it's best. A loft to call home.
Centrally located between the past, the present and the future.
