We firmly believe that a successful project goes beyond sheer creativity and necessitates a deep commitment to meeting the needs and aspirations of clients. It requires developing a close relationship with clients, maintaining open lines of communication, and valuing their input throughout every stage of the design process.
By incorporating both creativity and dedication into our approach, we create enduring designs that not only reflect our unique style but also serve as powerful tools for enhancing our clients' brands and achieving tangible results.

North Bay Mall, North Bay, Ontario
De-Malling & Renovation - Completed 2023
The demalling process of an out-dated mall in North Bay resulted in the creation of over 100,000 square feet of new space, marking a significant transformation for the community. This process involved strategically redesigning and renovating the existing structure to meet modern needs and demands. By removing outdated elements, optimizing floor plans, and maximizing unused areas, the mall was able to reclaim valuable space for new businesses, amenities, and services. The resulting increase in available square footage not only revitalized the physical space but also provided opportunities for economic growth and development within the area. This successful demalling effort demonstrates the importance of adaptive reuse in urban planning and underscores the potential for revitalizing underutilized commercial spaces to benefit both local residents and businesses.
