Colliers Project Leaders’ relocated corporate office implemented company standards and branding into a new open office concept with a focus on reconfigurable workstations and a flexible work environment. The project achieved this by opening the floor plate, standardizing and lowering the furniture, and including only critical support spaces to allow a variety of work functions and tasks to take place at various locations throughout the office.

Kanuka Thuringer

LocationRegina, SK

Completion2018

Overview

Previously located across four floors, Kanuka Thuringer’s client meeting rooms, boardrooms and reception were consolidated onto one floor. The design modernized the space with a timeless material palette and the latest technology.

The design took advantage of the view towards Wascana Park and the Legislative Building. Using a wall of glass between the boardroom and the reception area allows this view to impact everyone that enters the firm. The colours in the marble reception desk are carried through all the materials and furniture selected. P3A also incorporated the existing dark mahogany by adding a wood room that sits in the middle of the reception floor.

The crisp white drywall, grey back-painted glass, dark wood and simple stone flooring create a timeless back drop for the firm’s art collection.

The project included the complex insertion of a new stair link which was also used as a signature sculptural element.

Graham Construction Ltd. Regina District Head Office

LocationRegina, Saskatchewan

Completion2012

Overview

The Graham Construction Head Office is a great example of how a design can support and enhance the business of a client. The goal of the concept was to demonstrate the “master builder” status of the client through the expression of traditional building materials. The well-tailored and understated exterior draws on the Graham corporate colours and the dolomite wall was constructed from stone from Graham’s own Saskatchewan quarry.

The interior is a flexible arrangement of offices and workstations organized as a “race-track” around the central atrium to encourage collaboration and instill a cooperative team environment.

The building distinguishes itself as a showpiece that reflects the client’s business.

Atrium Building Lounge

LocationSaskatoon, Saskatchewan

Completion2012

Overview

The project at Innovation Place entailed a series of renovations within the Atrium Building to create a cohesive and upgraded aesthetic for public spaces. Inspired by the existing coy pond, the design scheme became subtly infused with Japanese elements. 

The existing lounge was redesigned into a warm, appealing space through the use of bamboo, dark brown leathers, green table tops, a backlit shoji wall and paper lanterns. Different types of seating was introduced to allow for quiet breaks, small meetings and functions. 

The shoji-style sliding doors act as a continuation of the atrium when open, while also providing an appropriate acoustic barrier between the two spaces when closed.

P3A Studio

LocationRegina, Saskatchewan

Completion2011

Overview

Transforming the second floor of a 1926 warehouse from a billiards hall to an office and design space offered P3A more space and an opportunity to express the firm’s philosophy and culture. 

Perimeter walls were left exposed to emphasize the texture of the original brick and hardwood floors, with white walls and blocks of colour integrated throughout. The office includes flexible meeting and social areas with transparent north and south walls that connect to the open studio space. The transparency allows daylight to penetrate into the office and provides dynamic views. 

Without compromising the building’s historical exterior, the windows along the north and west walls were extended to increase natural light and afford views of the prairie sky.

The Terrace Building

LocationInnovation Place, Regina, Saskatchewan
