Sage Vancouver Office by Edit Studios

Sage, a leader in accounting, financial, HR, and payroll technologies, set out to transform its global office spaces into vibrant hubs designed for hybrid work. The new 18,000-square-foot, two-floor Vancouver headquarters embodies this vision, redefining modern workplace design with a focus on innovation, inclusivity, and adaptability. The design by Edit Studios reflects Sage’s “hybrid-first” approach, balancing spaces for collaboration, focused work, and employee well-being. A key concept of the design is “flow,” achieved through curved architecture and lighting. Biophilic elements, inspired by the West Coast’s natural beauty, bring the outdoors in with lush greenery, natural materials, and a calming palette reminiscent of British Columbia’s landscapes.

The Nut House by FLOWER

The Nut House is a project designed by FLOWER. “We walked a lot, to start. Evocative details and the variety of the neighborhood became clear: juliet balconies, doily-fine gable filigree woodwork; simple gable roof forms; rail-less, welcoming front porches. We decided we could make a modern house in this place under the watchful eyes of a curmudgeonly landmarks board… we would simply pick our spots. In sketchbooks, we started with form and proportion – embracing the contextual patterns as important initial moves: a steep, single gable roof with a wide welcoming porch; modest width and height dimensions; and a classic juliet balcony. The low roof rafter spring point and one-and-a-half story form required creativity on the upper levels. Our strategy was to employ simple shed dormers toward the back half of the house, which would allow the purity of the street front elevation room to breath: a triangle on a rectangle. A corbeled-and-slanted chimney provides a vertical counterpoint from the sidewalk view (and allowed us to tuck another dormer north side). The clients requested to be together on one floor for sleeping – we tucked them all together below the gable.” Photography by Nicholas Fiore, Ryan Hughes, david lauer photography.

Arboreal House by MacCracken Robinson Architects

Arboreal House is a project designed by MacCracken Robinson Architects. “Our introduction to the Tahoe site was in late winter on a clear sunny day with filtered light and long shadows through snow laden fir and pine bows. It made a strong impression, stored for future consideration but the impetus for design came soon after the spring snow melt. A powerful sense of horizontal layering of vegetation and various stages of decomposing downed timber on the two acre site, juxtaposed with pine and fir trees and dense canopy of the surrounding forest. The site is located near the historic 1960 Olympic Nordic track and situated on the edge of a wetlands and seasonal stream.” Photography by Adam Potts, MacCracken Robinson Architects.

Colman Park House by Office of Ordinary Architecture

This project designed by Office of Ordinary Architecture started when the owners, living in Texas at the time, stumbled across this hidden gem of a house for sale. While the home is only two miles away from downtown Seattle it fees worlds away thanks to its parkside location. Colman Park, designed by the Olmstead brothers, surrounds the house on two sides and makes it feel like a treehouse in the city. The owners snapped up the home and when they decided to relocate to Seattle full time brought in OOA to help revitalize the 1940s house. Photography by Emily Keeney.
