INTERIOR DETAIL
For Capital One's new office located in Brookfield Place, in the heart of
Toronto's financial district, IBI Group developed a concept for the interiors
designed to support the fintech giant's collaborative culture. The businesses
in the neighborhood have a staid, corporate style, so the management at
Capital One wanted an office with a fresh look that would not only have current
employees looking forward to the work day but also help to attract the best,
young talent to its ranks. "Capital One wanted to be in the banking district but
in a highly creative space," says Barry Nathan, IBI Group's associate director
and practice lead, interior design.
It was a perfect project for IBI Group to tackle, with its history of
integrating technology with the built environment. With cross-sector expertise
in planning, designing, and building, the IBI Group team applied this extensive
knowledge to the interior landscape. One of the main challenges was how to
transform a series of underutilized service spaces in the middle of each floor,
where visibility and access throughout the office were limited. With the city's
rail corridor and the proposed Rail Deck Park serving as inspirations, the
design team knew they could similarly leverage unused spaces in an unexpected
way. Their solution was to convert basic corridors into five distinct areas
and provide an essential link between the east and west sides of the office.
IBI Group turned to Toronto-based Eventscape to fabricate various
elements for the project, including the elevator walls and ceilings, booths,
and the wall features. With the passageways acting as physical and visual links,
there's also a new openness that ensures greater collaboration among staff,
and the flexible use of space. With the corridors at the heart of the design,
IBI Group and Eventscape created "paths that support work, experiences,
and people," says Nathan. c

PERFECTLY RENDERED
For the corridor elements in Capital One's
Toronto office, Eventscape created more
than decorative pieces; they serve as places
where employees can work, take a break,
or collaborate. There are different seating
options in each corridor, so workers can sit
on ledges and cushions, or huddle in booths.
In Eventscape's rendering for the In-Stinct
blue spiral design element, every angle and
origami-like fold is detailed, and the ledge
seats can be seen jutting out. The Eventscape
team used brake-formed and powder-coated
metal for the body, and an upholstered fabric
panel is attached to each facet face. The
colors, geometric shapes, and textures of each
feature bring an artistic sensibility to Capital
One's office space.
