High Tech

Sciemetric

Looking for a solution to their growing population, Sciemetric turned to ASDG for their new office & manufacturing spaces. They took advantage of this relocation to create a fresh new dynamic & open office environment to attract & retain the brightest talents of their industry. With plenty of natural light we were able to provide Sciemetric with a bright, flexible layout with room for continued growth. Many new amenities were incorporated, such as: large kitchen café with beautiful natural light, games area, collaborative teaming spaces, phone rooms, Great Lake themed meeting rooms, locker rooms and shower facilities.

Flex

When designing for Flex’s relocation to a single tenant building, we worked closely with their Corporate Branding Team to ensure their Ottawa location maintained the Flex brand. Our planning solutions took advantage of the abundant natural light, kept the space bright & open with bright accent colours to keep the space vibrant & youthful. The Flex space features open concept landscape with few offices, product demonstration area for client presentations, technical labs & chambers, & a variety of meeting and phone rooms. We integrated collaborative spaces for the staff to work together in teams or one-on-one, such as huddle rooms, hotelling stations, & quiet independent work areas. The space features unique large café-style lunchrooms on both floors for general information sessions & staff events, as well as a locker rooms for personal storage.

TITUS

With TITUS’s growing success in the software and IT security industry, the need for flexible, reconfigurable space was paramount. With the TITUS team growing, we provided a cost effective solution to optimize their existing space. The design respected their branding image and bold corporate colours. We personalized the space with unique details, such as “Kettleman’s Corner”, that pay tribute to their company history. From the inspiring entrance graphics to a futuristic reception area, the space embodies TITUS’s corporate philosophy, objectives, and signature tech office vision.

Avaya Canada

Following the acquisition of Nortel Networks, Avaya’s objective was to find a new location that would set them apart and create a new branding image. By developing a single-phased design and implementation process with a multi-phased approach to construction, we were able to meet their financial targets and move-in dates. We designed a sleek interior with contemporary details and punches of colour to reflect Avaya’s corporate image.

Custom Home

The ASDG Design Team created this stunning custom home in the beautiful neighbourhood of Rothwell Heights in Gloucester. ASDG took care of every design detail, from conceptual visioning & planning to the meticulous development of the fireplace detailing, kitchen design, lighting and selection of interior finishes. ASDG worked closely with the client to help them realize and achieve their dream home. This 3,700 sq.ft. modern executive bungalow includes a 2 car garage, 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, spacious living area with a chef inspired kitchen design and concealed wet bar, and a large lower level games room with theatre room, additional wet bar & office area.

Charitable

National Headquarters

ASDG has worked with the Canadian headquarters of this international charitable organization for many years, and we were excited when they made the decision to consolidate onto 2 floors in downtown Ottawa. The relocation involved a shift in work culture to a more open landscape, with fewer dedicated enclosed offices. Strong, colourful accents & wood details are a feature of this fit-up, found in the accent carpet, ceiling & wall panels & new furniture configuration.

New Slide

Maplesoft Centre for Cancer Survivorship

The Maplesoft Centre for Cancer Survivorship is both a refuge and a home away from home for cancer survivors throughout their journey. We took a holistic approach to this design by incorporating the five elements of fire, earth, metal, water, and wood, and by using eco-friendly materials such as energy-efficient lighting and appliances and low VOC-emitting paints and adhesive. To enhance the users’ comfort, we also selected rubber flooring that enables radiant floor heating. The result is a soothing, harmonious, and welcoming environment for survivors and their families.

Real Estate & Brokerage

Avison Young

With offices across Canada, the US, and Europe, we took on the challenge of redesigning Avison Young’s Ottawa office to reflect their new corporate standards. We applied Avison Young’s neutral colour palette using lustrous whites, metallic silvers, and bold charcoal grey and blended them with warm wood tones to give the space a contemporary, high class work environment. The final result is a sleek, modern corporate office with an atmosphere suitable for a top professional real estate office.

Associations

Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA)

Our firm was retained by CREA in mid-2016 to assist with the renewal of their office standards and workplace strategies to create a fresh modern environment. Through an extensive planning & design phase, we assisted with a consolidation to bring all CREA staff onto consecutive floors. The construction was completed during four (4) phases, to limit the disruption to the day-to-day operations. The fit-up features work cafés, copy/print centers, phone rooms, various sized meeting rooms, new & existing offices, workstations and casual interaction areas. When possible offices & meeting rooms have been moved to the interior of the building, with workstations on the windows to allow for better distribution of natural light.

Universities Canada (formerly AUCC)

We delivered a rebuild that met the client’s goal of maximizing potential cost savings and created office space standards that provided 20% space savings. Our design of the interior emphasized an open working environment complementary to new working styles of today’s market. The result is a bright, fresh interior that reflects the professionalism of one of Ottawa’s top employers.

Media & Public Relations

National Public Relations

Taking a model suite approach to this office space, we created a trendsetting space and enhanced the building’s selling features to spark interest in prospective tenants seeking a unique, dynamic, and fully finished downtown office. We selected a neutral colour palette for the base of our design and interchanged it with accent colours that were easily tailored to suit National Public Relation’s branding and corporate standards. The result is a timeless model suite that reinforces the concept of flexibility and multi-functional workspace.

Research & Development

DNA Genotek

As a biotech company, DNA Genotek needed an office space and lab that could meet their needs. Using smart, sustainable principles we integrated their spatial requirements and maximized the reuse of available & existing infrastructure to create a dynamic new office environment with new pod workstations, technology, and current audio visual equipment. From the DNA double helix inspired glass detail to punches of vibrant accent colours, the final result was a refreshed space that seamlessly wove in DNA’s unique branding and vision.

Lobbies & Common Spaces

Manulife Financial Building, 55 Metcalfe Street, Ottawa

In designing this space, our team employed the principles of Feng Shui to create a unique and holistic design. We chose a material palette that reflects the luxury of this downtown Class A complex. For the lobby, elevators, and washrooms, we maintained the high ceiling, designed planters, and selected new flooring, lighting, and fixtures. The result is a distinctly refined interior that sets this downtown Ottawa lobby space apart.

Placement Agency

S.i. Systems

For S.i. Systems, we delivered a fresh, modern office with transparent meeting and conference rooms to interview candidates. We also integrated existing elements such as open workstations into the look of the client’s global branding, and all on a tight design and construction timeline. Floor-to-ceiling glazing and low profile workstations are key elements of a bright, open design that reflects Si. Systems’ progressive approach to business.

Public Service

The Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC)

The challenges here were: to provide design services for a consolidation of PIPSC from various locations into an existing high-rise facility to be retrofitted inside and out; and to create a new, state-of-the-art Conference Facility, while being environmentally and fiscally responsible. We succeeded by designing an efficient, flexible modular office that allowed for growth within the organization. The finished product is a professional, timeless, and functional interior.

Education

University of Ottawa Social Sciences and Vanier Buildings

As part of the project design team we prepared furniture layouts, new furniture specifications, the tendering package, and detailed cost estimates. We assisted in determining which furniture and equipment could be repurposed and or replaced, as well as in selecting new furniture and furnishings. Our focus was on selecting visually appealing yet functional pieces that complied with the University of Ottawa’s standards while complementing this LEED-certified building’s cutting-edge architectural style.

Specialty

Al’s Steakhouse

We took this classic Ottawa dining institution and gave it a fresh, upscale design. Highlights include new banquet seating and new pendant lighting, which create an ambiance of European fine dining. A new hostess station and refit of the bar give it a contemporary feel that is in keeping with the trendy restaurants of Elgin street.

Healthcare

Bruyere Continuing Care – Bruyere Village

Our design services for the St. Louis residence included interior finish selections, as well as furniture, furnishings, and equipment selection and specification for all the common areas and some apartments. In our selected materials and furnishings, we emphasized safety, functionality, durability, and maintainability. We united these practical considerations with a comfortable and classic aesthetic that will help foster a welcoming and community-focused atmosphere.

Condominium

Commodore’s Quay, Ottawa

For Commodore’s Quay condominium, we developed a design package including a warm cream-and-earth-tone colour palette, richly-textured materials like leather and wood, and qualitative flooring, all of which are uniquely tailored to the existing character. The result is a luxurious, tasteful, and welcoming ground floor lobby and common corridors for condominium residents and guests.
