Commercial Projects

The division between work and home has been dissolving slowly over the past two decades with advances in technology and has been significantly hastened in the post-COVID environment.

We check emails and work at all hours of the day, have telehealth visits with doctors and attend virtual parent/teacher conferences.

Workers are asking questions of their built environment and demanding more from them in terms of use, comfort and privacy. We will explore all these opportunities with you and guide you through a thoughtful design process that creates supportive and inspiring spaces.
