VICE Offices – Toronto

VICE Offices – Toronto

When VICE Media — the world’s preeminent youth media company— needed a new Toronto bureau — having expanded from 50 to over 150 people in over a year— they engaged DesignAgency because the two companies share a common core: both are cross disciplinary, collaborative and creative. VICE asked for a space that reflects their strong brand, and exudes the youthful energy that they are famous for. Attuned to the needs of its client, DesignAgency infused a decommissioned factory with the informal, relaxed vibe of a classic cigar lounge, then stealthily layered technology, lighting and sound equipment throughout. The results are instrumental for the VICE team to produce their multi-platform content, while allowing the open-plan space to play triple duty as a day-to-day working environment, a film and recording set and a showpiece that speaks to the personality and values of the company.

Etsy's New Headquarters Will Fill You With Envy

Etsy's New Headquarters Will Fill You With Envy

Etsy started out in 2005 as a small online marketplace for makers and DIYers, but the company has turned into an e-commerce behemoth that's enabled housewives to knit their way to millions. Along the way, the $3.5 billion company has aggressively tried to do business the right way by hiring a diverse workforce, building community, and offering generous employee perks that go beyond a free lunch.

Its new headquarters in the DUMBO neighborhood of Brooklyn serves as a physical embodiment of this "responsible citizen" philosophy—from the solar panels covering its roof down to the salvaged furniture outfitting its conference rooms to the public gallery of maker goods in its lobby. The hope? That it'll push others to adopt its conscientious ways.

OGSystems Offices – Chantilly

FOX Architects has designed the new offices of geospatial systems technology company OGSystems located in Chantilly, Virginia.

OGSystems previous space was inherited and dubbed “Frankenstein,” as to accommodate their growth and how they worked required numerous patchwork ideas.

The true challenge was revealed during programming when it was revealed they had no idea what kind of growth they would experience in five years and what other industries it may lead them into. FOX had to future proof their new space to accommodate their rapidly growing business as well as reflect their truly unique and forward thinking approach to business.
