The Barn is the latest project by NOA for the Apfelhotel Torgglerhof in Val Passiria. The space was conceived as a place where both hotel guests and external visitors can explore a curated selection of regional products—not displayed in a commercial layout, but rather arranged with the intimacy of a setting evoking a lived-in home. Located on the ground floor of a former barn, the intervention gives new life to a historical structure. Photography by Alex Filz.

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.

Global Fintech company, Trulioo, is one of the world’s most trusted identity verification platforms and has recently moved into their new Headquarters in Vancouver’s hot tech district, Mount Pleasant. Recently completed in early 2023 by Edit Studios, the main challenge was understanding what would motivate people to return to the office from the comfort of their homes. The 35,000 square foot space spans two floors and revolves around a brightly painted interconnected stair, featuring a custom mural by a local artist depicting Trulioo’s number one asset, their people. The priority was to unite all 300 staff by creating a functional and productive environment that could also promote interaction and collaboration. Photography by Brett Hitchins.
