Space is best filled with passion.

Anyone can fill a space. It takes talent, vision, and passion to create the perfect environment, a unique blend of aesthetics and functionality. Like you, at Thermador we go to great lengths to achieve that balance. Take our latest innovation, the steam oven. With a choice of three cooking options—steam, true convection, and a combination of steam and convection—food stays moist on the inside and perfectly finished on the outside. Now that’s creative freedom.

ARIDO Awards 2010

2010 ARIDO Awards Program Celebrating Excellence in Interior Design The following pages present a visual showcase of award-winning interior design projects from the 2010 ARIDO Awards Program. This annual program celebrates the talent of Ontario’s registered interior designers. This year, a panel of five judges selected 29 projects to receive awards from almost 100 entries in 11 categories. Among the winning projects were 23 Awards of Merit, including three Sustainable Awards of Merit; five Awards of Excellence; and one Project of the Year.

Each project was judged on its own merit by a panel of four members of the interior design profession and one guest judge from the design media. In each case, the judges considered creativity and innovation, as well as the effectiveness of the design solution.

From corporate to residential, hospitality to healthcare, the 2010 ARIDO award-winning projects demonstrate how interior design can enhance public and private spaces. We hope you will enjoy reading about these projects and discovering what we mean when we say ARIDO members make space for good design.

Not all top chefs use Gaggenau at home yet.

A fact that kept us busy.

Ovens with succinct style. The 200 series ovens.

To satisfy the world’s greatest chefs, we meet the very highest standards. The 200 series ovens bring the most modern professional technology into private kitchens, with ovens, Combi-steam ovens and warming drawers that set new standards. Many chefs who have been awarded three Michelin stars are already convinced – they don’t just use the range at home, but also in their restaurants. We take that as a compliment. The difference is Gaggenau.

BROWN THOMAS LUXURY HALL INTERIOR DESIGNER

Diego Burdi, ARIDO DESIGN FIRM

Burdifilek DESIGN TEAM

Diego Burdi, ARIDO Tom Yip, ARIDO Jeremy Mendonca, Intern ARIDO “Beautifully crafted details support a cohesive, elegant concept.

Sophisticated splendour.�

This signature 5,800-sq.-ft. space in Dublin, Ireland, references the sophisticated modernism of the Brown Thomas brand and captures the essence of the beautiful products it houses. The design concept focuses on elevating the luxury shopping experience. The Luxury Hall was conceived as a central piazza, with enclaves for high-end brands projecting beyond the main area. The perimeter is sheathed in subtly reflective dichroic glass; invisible floating vitrines are suspended on modulated transparent glass walls, allowing for a glimpse through to the adjacent shop-in-shops. The graceful curves encourage meandering exploration and effortlessly lead shoppers through the space.

Watt International DESIGN TEAM

Brian Bettencourt, ARIDO Paulis Ciskevicius, ARIDO Victoria Chin, Intern ARIDO “Exciting, well-organized interior — they pulled out all the stops to create an energetic shopping experience.”

The interior designer was challenged with creating an uncluttered, fluid space to house four major sports brands, in this new 9,500-sq.-ft. retail space owned by Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment, of Toronto. Spatial manipulation and strategic placement of architectural features and fixtures define and modulate the space, while respecting the functional reality of a retail environment. Concept layers and interesting ceiling, wall and floor features help define the space and provide dynamic sightlines. Hub/ vignette areas create focus, while pulling customers into the centre of the space.

DISCOVER Y, EMPLOYEE CHILDCARE CENTRE INTERIOR DESIGNER

Jane Lawson, ARIDO DESIGN FIRM

Walker Lawson Interior Design Inc. “This is an imaginative design solution. Playful, clean, sophisticated and fun.”

This corporate daycare facility in Calgary reflects a commitment to employees by offering a unique environment for children and their parents. The facility exudes residential warmth. A sense of “home” and “address” for each room inspired a streetscape of oversized building blocks at the entry doors. “Shadow” trees and illuminated birds in flight add a sense of whimsy and “natural” dynamic to the space. Children are quickly drawn in and immediately feel at ease.

Anna Simone, ARIDO DESIGN FIRM

Cecconi Simone Inc. DESIGN TEAM

Anna Simone, ARIDO Elaine Cecconi, ARIDO Pauline Ayoub, ARIDO “Urban and sophisticated to the core. High-contrast white and dark elements create visual appeal.”

The inspiration for this 1,016-sq.-ft. model suite in Ottawa was haute couture. The suite has a clean, contemporary feel with an infusion of transitional elements and a seamless connection between the interior and exterior spaces. The design strikes a balance between a white, modern backdrop and a dark interior that incorporates solid oak, stamped leather and backlit elements. The warmth of these elements adds a richness and tactile quality to the design.

NADÈGE PATISSERIE INTERIOR DESIGNER

Neal Prabhu, ARIDO DESIGN FIRM

nkA “It’s perfect: pastry as jewellery!

Nice use of linear elements to draw customers in.”

A restrained approach to Nadège Patisserie in Toronto yielded a refined interior of architectural interventions that are at once deferential and engaging. This duality reinforces the dynamic of the space, juxtaposing the intimacy of the pastry display with the intensity of the open kitchen and surrounding social nodes. A floating ceiling running the length of the interior reinforces the long, narrow proportion of the 2,600-sq.-ft. patisserie. The clean lines of the white eating counter, floating wall and shelves stand in contrast to the grey cavernous treatment of the interior’s shell.

PROJECT

LEON’S FURNITURE AT THE ROUNDHOUSE, TORONTO INTERIOR DESIGNER

Danielle J. Leon, ARIDO DESIGN FIRM

Danielle Josette Interior Design “An impressive, well-conceived marriage of old and new.”

This project highlights Toronto’s historic railway roundhouse and showcases the client’s merchandise in a 40,000-sq.-ft. showroom. The design minimizes the built space, while maximizing the historic structure. A large vestibule unites two entrances and guides customers to the centre of the building. The saw cuts on the polished concrete floor and the custom, suspended, metal light troughs are installed in a radial pattern, highlighting the curve of the building. Two wood and glass pavilions imitate the living space of a 700-sq.-ft. condominium.

Award of Merit: Sustainable Design The concept of sustainability in design is something interior design professionals embrace. The Sustainable category of the 2010 ARIDO Awards program recognizes projects that incorporate sustainable solutions with exceptional design. In addition to winning an Award of Merit in the Restoration and Adaptive Reuse category, Leon’s Furniture at the Roundhouse, Toronto, received an Award of Merit: Sustainable Design for its eco-friendly design. LEED Gold certification is pending.

Caroline Hughes, ARIDO Christopher Wright, ARIDO Erin Armstrong, ARIDO Jackie Prawecki, Intern ARIDO Angela Stinson, Intern ARIDO “Strong colour used in a clever way.

Aesthetic element in power poles breaks up large expanse of space.”

The design of this new centre in Mississauga, Ontario, embraces the challenge of 20-ft. ceiling heights by implementing a “21st-century forest” of cable-management power poles to create a highly visual way-finding system. The brand’s blue collector cards were utilized in an oversized “drapery” to create intimate collaboration pods within the open contact centre. The centre is home to Canada’s largest solar rooftop, generating enough energy to power 20 homes for one year.

On-site solar generation is returned to the grid, resulting in substantial energy-cost reductions.

Randa Tukan, ARIDO DESIGN FIRM

HOK DESIGN TEAM

Randa Tukan, ARIDO Daniela Barbon, ARIDO “Welcoming, joyful, sustainable.

Wonderful juxtaposition of architectural and decorative design on a very strict budget.”

The eclectic atmosphere of this hip, grassroots, community coffee shop in Toronto, with a focus on sustainability, is enhanced with vintage furniture and art. Light from large operable windows and neutral-coloured walls visually enlarge this 1,000-sq.-ft. space, providing a backdrop for bright accents and various wood grains.

A comfortable seating area is integrated to create a home away from home for patrons to kick back and relax. The coffee-stained concrete floor illustrates the owner’s love of a good brew.

CALGARY PENTHOUSE INTERIOR DESIGNER

Andrea Raimondi, ARIDO DESIGN FIRM

Ingenium Design Group Inc. “An innovative suite layout with exquisite detailing.”

The client’s European roots and pioneering nature mandated a dynamically minimalistic yet progressive design for this 3,196-sq.-ft. penthouse in Calgary.

Through an uncomplicated, purposeful approach and utilization of a controlled palette, the designer created an austere and polished backdrop to showcase exclusive details, while emphasizing key features with accents of saturated colour.

BMO – NEIGHBOURHOOD BRANCH CONCEPT INTERIOR DESIGNER

Andrew Gallici, ARIDO DESIGN FIRM

figure3 DESIGN TEAM

Andrew Gallici, ARIDO Christopher Wright, ARIDO Kate Jordan, Intern ARIDO “Impressive workplace strategies create a clean, bright, efficient layout.”

This 2,100-sq.-ft. branch model in Toronto is designed to expand BMO’s presence in urban neighbourhoods. Their goal was to better support changing customer needs, while significantly reducing their real-estate footprint and operating costs. Physical and psychological barriers were removed by opening up the space, creating glass meeting rooms and offices, and deconstructing teller stations.

The space plan was developed to intentionally blur the lines between self-service transactions and one-on-one engagement.

CONESTOGA MALL INTERIOR DESIGNER

Dana David, ARIDO DESIGN FIRM

Pellow + Associates Architects Inc. “Well-executed update resulting in a remarkable modernization.”

This design project added more than 100,000-sq.-ft. to an existing mall in Waterloo, Ontario, originally built in the 1970s. The renovated and new common areas were designed to be sophisticated and contemporary, yet neutral enough to allow the retail tenants to remain “the show.”

The style is flexible enough to last another 15 to 20 years. The food court, relocated nearer the existing cinemas, acts as a new mall anchor and entrance, with its own unique environment.

Pat Cooper-Slipper, ARIDO DESIGN FIRM

Cooper-Slipper Design Inc. DESIGN TEAM

Pat Cooper-Slipper, ARIDO Jane Juranek, Intern ARIDO “Impressive, given the limited budget. Sophisticated, but with a youthful and energetic vibe.”

The design of this space supports the client’s dramatic shift in workplace philosophy and a rebranding opportunity. The Toronto firm’s overhead expenses were reduced significantly with the move from a 17,000- to 7,400-sq.-ft. space, allowing for a more collaborative environment. The space was manipulated by creating simple blocks of build outs, allowing the flood of natural light into all areas.

The end result is an open, creative and collaborative workspace.

INTERAC ASSOCIATION INTERIOR DESIGNER

Chantal Frenette, ARIDO DESIGN FIRM

modo “Great use of colour and graphics to provide transition from private to semi-private spaces.”

The client sought to reflect a new brand strategy and create a healthy, modern, highly collaborative work environment. The design team used the architecture of the building, located in the financial district of Toronto, to enhance the interiors.

The space capitalizes on natural light from full-height windows and spatial niches created by the distinctive saw-tooth design of the building perimeter. Glass fins incorporated in the partitions purposefully reinforce the building footprint and create a dynamic repetition to the regimented planning strategy.

Johnson Chou, ARIDO DESIGN FIRM

Johnson Chou Inc. “A ‘fantastic’ futuristic workplace that allows for change and supports evolving ideas.”

This space, located on Queen Street West in Toronto, is intended to function as a forum for the exchange of ideas — an inspirational hub where knowledge is gained and disseminated and the participants are transformed through the experience. Visitors have commented that the space, with its modern, dynamic yet eclectic aesthetic, combined with its visually open and accessible concept, has effectively captured that ineffable Red Bull energetic “vibe.”

Alan Dalquan, ARIDO DESIGN FIRM

Stantec Architecture Ltd. DESIGN TEAM

Alan Dalquen, ARIDO Shannon O’Reilly, ARIDO Chi-Ae Goodman, Intern ARIDO “Controlled use of corporate colour creates an exciting, dynamic and positive work environment.”

The design concept for this 58,000-sq.-ft. facility in Toronto incorporated three main objectives: operational excellence, pride of place, and reprieve. The workstation layout was developed in a “W” configuration to support operational objectives by allowing direct sightlines to the team lead. A clean and minimalist palette of materials was used to reinforce the corporate brand. Quiet spaces, games rooms, break-out lounges and active cafés provide “reprieve” for employees.

Mayhew DESIGN TEAM

Rochelle Jones, ARIDO Steve Cascone, ARIDO Harpreet Singh, ARIDO “The space looked great on television. An effective temporary facility.”

This 600-sq.-ft. space presented as cool and contemporary, and acted as the touchdown space for athletes within CTV’s International Broadcast Centre. While temporary and event specific, the space showcased Canadian talent at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics against Canadiana-inspired wall graphics.

Flexible functional requirements necessitated neutral palette tones, accented with powerful imagery. The design ensured camera angles and video capturing capabilities were optimized.

Anna Simone, ARIDO Elaine Cecconi, ARIDO Marie Girolamo, Intern ARIDO Pauline Ayoub, ARIDO “Edgy, fresh reinterpretation of ’80s glam and avant-garde fashion.

Sophisticated detail; perfectly suited to target market.”

This 3,462-sq.-ft. sales centre in Toronto caters to a demographic of hip, fashion-forward urbanites who are leaders, not followers. The existing raw elements of the space, such as surface imperfections and exposed ductwork and conduit, are featured rather than concealed.

New materials and furnishings were charred to create a heavily textured surface and found objects were introduced for an eclectic appeal.

Gow Hastings Architects Inc. “Clean, with no superfluous ornaments. Flexible spaces support connection of groups and provide public exhibition spaces.”

The 12,335-sq.-ft. interior renovation of the School of Interior Design at Ryerson University in Toronto knits new and existing construction, providing users with a coherent experience of openness and light.

The historic brick and timber shell, with exposed ducts and beams, is merged with crisp detailing of white drywall and pin-up boards with maple accents. The third-floor studios were converted into four flexible classrooms that can be opened into a gallery setting.

WOOLWICH MEMORIAL CENTRE INTERIOR DESIGNER

Chen Cohen, ARIDO DESIGN FIRM

MacLennan Jaunkalns Miller Architects Ltd. “Invigorating use of colour, materials and graphics provides welcoming visuals for all ages.”

The use of selective colour and material choices, along with bold graphic systems, give this 117,500-sq.-ft. building in Elmira, Ontario, a quality of space and heightened user experience. The facility houses an arena, along with aquatic, fitness, and multiuse programs. Simple interplay of the material palette of corrugated metal, wood, masonry and coloured glass defines spaces and complements the users’ recreational experience.

Colour accents provide navigational and programmatic clarity.

Don Parker, ARIDO Anne McCance, ARIDO Gabrielle Rossit, ARIDO Patricia Roy, ARIDO Rachel Simpson, ARIDO Stacey Silliphant, Intern ARIDO “A satisfying blend of warm and cool materials; excellent use of wood in hallways to delineate the space.”

Inspiration for the interior of this 446,000-sq.-ft., integrated courthouse building in Oshawa was derived from the exterior architecture and regional elements.

The building consolidates Superior and Ontario Court justice services and is the province’s most technologically advanced, energy-efficient courthouse. Natural daylight and a view to the exterior are emphasized, especially in the courtroom waiting areas located on the building perimeter.

RICHMOND OLYMPIC OVAL INTERIOR DESIGNER

Don Parker, ARIDO DESIGN FIRM

Cannon Design DESIGN TEAM

Don Parker, ARIDO Patricia Roy, ARIDO “Beautiful patterning of pine-beetlekilled wood on ceiling provides a great solution to the client’s requirement to salvage discarded material.”

This vast, 506,000-sq.-ft. structure, located in Richmond, B.C., is designed around three levels. The project had multiple accessibility requirements as it is designed to transition between a speed-skating facility and an international, elite-athlete training zone, as well as a neighbourhood recreation centre and rehabilitation centre for the elderly. The interior design identifies a hierarchy of finishes, from simple concrete seal and burnished concrete block to back-lit polycarbonate, appropriate to the function and status of the program element they serve.

LYNDHURST INTERIOR DESIGNER

Theresa Casey, ARIDO DESIGN FIRM

Casey Design Group Inc. “Exudes personality and life while being true to the intent. Each room has a strong character, yet the overall design is cohesive.”

This project involved restoring the spirit of a historic Edwardian home in Toronto severely compromised by years of ill-advised renovations and neglect. The repurposed Edwardian framework dictated highly articulated rooms revolving around generous hallway spaces, resulting in a series of engaging and meaningful places for both private reflection and family gatherings. The use of traditional materials and original craftsmanship bridge the demands of modern functionality with historic restoration.
