Publicis is an international advertising agency that sought to create a highly collaborative workspace in their downtown Toronto location. The project team was committed to designing an engaging architectural intervention that would promote a more synergistic and creatively collaborative environment.

Three adjacent warehouse buildings were renovated to create a contiguous space in order to accommodate the major programmatic elements of the agency: the creative department, the pitch room and the studio. The studio is characterized by its architectonic sophistication, use of vibrant colours, transparency, texture, openness and the introduction of “portals” that connect spaces to one another both in plan and section.
