In response to a local privateequity firm’s request for an expanded office that encourages collaboration and engagement— and that offers some comforts of home—Vancouver’s Edit Studios turned to a sophisticated, Parisianinspired aesthetic. As the firm writes in its entry, the intentional embrace of a more feminine look (soft draperies, rounded furniture, smaller-scale seating) “tips the scales toward a softer and lighter aesthetic contrasted against that of conventional dark woods and leather chesterfields emblematic of the profession.” Herringbonepatterned oak flooring and traditional ceiling moldings bring an old-world touch, while gold accents and white marble surfaces keep things fresh. h
