“Work is an experience”. This is an innate part of Softchoice’s ethos, and our vision of a comfortable, enticing place to meet brought us to create a space where you can breathe freely. A version of home, and with this we were able to think outside the corporate box. A workplace that became a destination, with a vision to embrace an old school elegance with modern flair and amenities. Re-imagining this open area into a vibrant space with multiple views to keep the energy open and consistent, while using our design features to delineating programming. Using antique looking rugs made of carpet tiles created dedi­cated spaces while keeping the floorplan open for engagement among staff. Our loungey furniture selection boasts comfort and natural curves, keeping with the idea of a living room. As you sit and gaze out the windows you will now see the beautiful green space that was once hidden by high panel workstations. Planters throughout and a custom moss wall add the natural calmness and biophilic touch the interior space needed. The unique colour palette adds the playful, yet elegant, ambiance envisioned from the start.

Stepping in during the early stages of this 45,000 sq.ft. project, SGH partnered with Ipsos to help evaluate whether to relocate to a new office space or stay and renovate their current location to better suite their desire for a more collaborative work environment.

This project was complete in two phases of construction. Their new space is a state of the art workplace that met their budget and exceeded their expectations.
