Accessibility and inclusivity were key influences throughout the design process. Flexible furniture solutions allow the space to accommodate people of all ages, abilities, and mobility levels, while existing materials were thoughtfully repurposed, preserving resources and giving familiar architectural elements new life. Lighting, too, was reimagined: harsh, corporate fixtures were replaced with a layered scheme of sconces, display lights, and feature pendants that create an atmosphere closer to a boutique hotel than a typical office, an environment that invites members to linger, connect, and engage.
The transformed offices now do more than serve as a headquarters; they provide a stage for the Society’s work, offering spaces that reflect its professionalism while enabling meaningful connection and community. Through hospitality-driven design, Figure3 has helped The Advocates’ Society show the lasting value of workplace interior design, creating a place where Canada’s advocates can come together, share ideas, and strengthen the profession for years to come.
