Urban Jungle Office Design

The reception area at Urban Jungle and The Foundry Real Estate Co. is a cool, neutral shared space for both companies.

MODERN, INDUSTRIAL DESIGN? CHECK.

It’s pretty obvious that at Hatch we’re all about commercial interior design. That’s our bag, our shtick, our specialty - we love it. But sometimes it’s nice to stir the creativity pot and take on a special interest project. Whether it’s creating unique retail window displays, trade show kiosks, re-design for charity organizations, conceptual logo ideas, or even designing a home for a friend or family member these creative design projects test the boundaries of our imagination and keep us on our toes when we’re in between jobs.

IDSWest and SHINE Awards 2013

We recently had the opportunity to attend trade day at IDSWest followed by the prestigious Interior Designer’s Institute of British Columbia (IDIBC) SHINE awards presentation in Vancouver.

Every year, and often around the same dates as IDSWest, the IDIBC honors their Registered Interior Designers with awards of excellence and merit based on their submitted projects in many different categories. This year was a special…

Pictured from top left and moving clockwise: Google reception desk in an office by Scott Brownrigg; a fireman's slide leading to the cafeteria and an orange grove both designed by Camenzind Evolution.

They requested a design that was outside of the box, a space that, from both an employee and prospective…

HOW TO SERIES PART 4: HOW TO PLAN A SUCCESSFUL MILLWORK PROJECT

Find out how interior design firms like SSDG design millwork and achieve beautiful commercial spaces like iQumetrix fabricated and installed by Wanes Custom Woodworks (pictured above). If we had to select one trade that can really make or break our commercial interior design projects, hands down it would have to be the millworker.

Experienced, qualified custom woodwork shops are essential in the development of detailed, bespoke millwork pieces. Not…

OPEN OFFICE DESIGN BALANCE FOCUS WITH COLLABORATION

When you plan your open office design don't forget accessible semi-private meeting spaces like the one above designed by Studio O+A. With leading companies like Google, Facebook, Skype, and Microsoft charging forward with open office designs this approach is becoming common place. We have seen a huge demand for this form of interior design for corporate spaces right here in Kelowna, and why not? Mobile technology has allowed us the freedom to work from anywhere and has reduced our footprint by condensing the amount of storage we require to do our jobs, leased space has become more expensive, and the…
