SRAM | NORTH VANCOUVER, BC
We had a fantastic time working with this all-time crew while designing this contemporary workspace. SRAM Canada is the marketing and service headquarters located in the modern shipyards area of North Vancouver. Boasting 14’ ceiling with original fir rafters and sandwiched wood-constructed ceiling, we paired dynamic textures and patterns that helped to represent the juxtaposition of sleek and complicated elements within the engineering of the bicycle, the essence of race culture and complimentary within the brand graphics and colours. We are thrilled with the results, as the space is not only dynamic and lively but also represents the west coast culture with strength while providing a hip and comfortable environment to inspire the staff of this amazing company.
