RESTAURANT BAR & LOUNGE - VOYAGE
Voyage is a restaurant and bar concept on Granville Island, Vancouver. The design draws inspiration from the spirit of ancient maritime explorers, weaving elements of the sea into the modern dining experience. With seating for approximately 130 in the restaurant, the space features a blend of casual-upscale dining, local fresh seafood, and West Coast flavours. The design integrates warm, natural materials such as wood, stone, and rope to evoke the feel of the ship's interior, while the layout ensures barrier-free access and a seamless flow between the dining areas, bar, and outdoor patio.
ASSISTANCE CENTRE - WINGS OF HOPE
Wings of Hope is a dedicated center located in Vancouver, BC, designed to support unhoused individuals struggling with mental health issues. The center integrates healthcare, community support, and transitional services. The design reflects the transformative journey of swans, symbolizing resilience and change. Key spaces include a reception area, therapy/quiet room, conference room, and flexible creative lab, all aimed at fostering a sense of community and stability. The project emphasizes the Housing First model, providing immediate referral to stable housing and ongoing support to break the cycle of homelessness and promote long-term well-being.
CLINIC RECEPTION & WAITING AREA REDESIGN
This project transformed the reception and waiting area for a family-owned traditional Chinese clinic in Liaoning, China. A key aspect of the redesign was optimizing the flow, as patients must change into provided slippers before entering the treatment area, which previously caused congestion. The new design addresses this with custom bench seating and integrated shoe storage, improving flow, functionality, and comfort. Additionally, a custom reception desk with added storage and new millwork cabinet further increase the space's efficiency. A cohesive colour palette unifies the design, creating a comfortable and practical environment for both staff and patients.
