Trans-Canada Capital (TCC), is a firm offering investment strategies to its clients, for nearly 15 years now.
TCC boasts Air Canada among its clients; managing its pension fund assets with undeniable success.
TCC sees the need at the dawn of 2022 to expand its existing offices, located on the 20th floor of the Bell Tower, on McGill College Avenue in downtown Montreal.
Artesa was pleased to be entrusted with the design of this expansion, occurring through the acquisition of two adjacent vacant suites.
As a result, TCC is now the sole occupant of their floor – its enlarged and renovated offices now spread over nearly 18,000 sq.ft.
While this project could have been limited to extending existing concepts and furniture, TCC wanted several changes to streamline/enhance its existing spaces:
- Open workstations arranged along glazed exterior walls, while closed offices, meeting rooms and other more utilitarian partitioned spaces, arranged in the center;
- New playful collaborative work zones; arranged between open workstation zones, made up of modular furniture and curved by functional/decorative bay windows;
- New individual booths; for employee communications in open workstations;
- New collaborative benches – sophisticated, bespoke concept; for meeting there as in a play area;
- Existing reception area reconfigured and enhanced: new modular waiting furniture, signage and wall imagery – corporate graphics exclusive to TCC and designed by Artesa.
Artesa had the privilege, with the appreciated collaboration of Air Canada and engineering firms, to participate in the design of this project; offering TCC coherent and dynamic layouts, a sober and sophisticated ambiance, a renewed and distinctive brand image.
