No more cubicles.
The Rogers Sharespace project transformed the existing office space into an open concept, modern hoteling workspace for Rogers employees.
The renovation included workspaces, elevator lobbies, boardrooms, washrooms, library, and cafés – all fitted out with state-of-the-art AV equipment. The space was transformed into a modern workspace for Rogers’ employees. It allows for hoteling: a flexible office space where employees book workspace daily according to their needs and location. The project includes library space, cafés, breakout and meeting rooms, boardrooms, open concept work desks, and a variety of ergonomic options (seated, standing, lounging, etc.) which are tailored to employee needs and promote communication and collaboration.
We created a colour system with themes for each zone (N, S, E, W) to help people find their way. Using graphic textures/patterns in different colours to represent each zone. The patterns and textures make the way finding signage within a zone easily distinguishable.
Architect partners: HOK, Steelcase
We created a set on hand-drawn patterns to use mainly on glass of the meeting rooms to help people find the right room. Each pattern represents the theme of the neighbourhood. The style was chosen to make the space more friendly and still add more subtle quirkiness to the design system.
How to strategically design each space?
We made a system to help split up the different business spaces within the company to help standardize the design and hence keep all the wayfinding elements consistent. We created an installation guidelines for every piece of signage to help systematize the production process as the workplace transformation would happen over several years (lot of ground to cover)
