XYZ storage | eastern avenue
XYZ Storage is an award winning rebrand and design of the self storage company previously known as All Canadian Self Storage. This 110,000 square foot warehouse and retail space required the need for strategic thinking from finish selection & merchandising to wayfinding & functionality.
longo’s | liberty village
A new approach to grocery was taken when planning Longo’s at Liberty Village. This award winning 30,000 square foot store divided its square footage amongst standard grocery and restaurant services. The location of this store drastically impacted the overall design - A casual restaurant and bar atmosphere was introduced to the space to target the main demographic of Liberty Village to help showcase what you can do with Longo’s products.
