The lobby corridor.

The entrance way features an illustration vinyl wrap edge to edge that allows light to pass while providing privacy for the office.

Gastown Alleyway

The front entrance of the company is wrapped in 3M PVC free film that allows light to pass while giving the interior space privacy. The illustration artwork is drawn from a first person perspective allowing the viewer an immersive experience.

The glass wall featuring the Pink Alley

Drawn from the perspective of first person point of view, we illustrated the famous Pink Alley from downtown Vancouver. Standing in the lobby looking at this backlit glass vinyl installation will make you feel like you’re actually there. The film glass mural allows light to pass while providing adequate opaque finish to give the office space privacy.

The front entrance

Using the visual language of graphic novels, we illustrated the company’s corporate culture in a dynamic way using 3D pop-outs to accentuate different parts of the wall space.

Graphic novel themed space.

Each corner of the office is responsible for a theme in telling the company’s unique corporate culture ranging from Karaoke nights to rooftop costume parties.

A visual art system

Working closely with interior design firm, Perkins + Will in Vancouver, we were tasked to come up with a visual art system for the office space, a gaming company’s latest HQ in Vancouver. The task was to create a space that championed their unique corporate culture featuring their themed parties and gatherings in a fun visual way.

The concept we came up with was to use the visual language of graphic novels to tell their story visually. Utilizing 3D pop outs in the design helped create a dynamic space that help punctuate certain visuals and give depth and dimension to the art. We came up with the visual art system, illustration artwork that covered everything from the entrance graphic, the four corners, and all the privacy film graphics for all the boardrooms.
