Silvera\u2019s core values have been the foundation of their exceptional housing for seniors, and the decision to renovate their existing space honours their mission to uphold a caring, positive environment for their residents. In 2017, Silvera partnered with <em>Kasian <\/em>to create a master plan to revitalize Spruce Lodge in central Calgary. The property, originally built in the early 2000s, was in need of an aesthetic refresh to give it is interior a contemporary feel. Since all of the resident accommodations are studio suites, the common spaces at Spruce Lodge are a vital part of the facility\u2019s community. <em>Kasian<\/em>\u2019s goal was to develop the master plan of an environment that aligned with Silvera\u2019s mission \u2013 to help seniors live their best life by building a community that embraces home values, wellness, and physical activities. Although a lofty goal, the project\u2019s biggest challenge was to complete the building upgrades without disrupting the daily lives of the residents and building operations.

This is what Revera wanted to achieve when they asked us to design McConachie Gardens. They asked <em>Kasian<\/em> to create a home that promotes interaction, nurtures social connections and helps residents to make new memories. With human-centred design at the heart of our vision, the remarkable design incorporates concepts of hospitality with cues of \u2018home\u2019, giving residents a place that they can call their own. Revera wanted to create a home that would be flexible enough to meet the demands of younger elders, but also be adaptable into a long-term care facility over time. Along with the goal of creating a beautiful design that blended with the surrounding community, <em>Kasian<\/em> wanted to find the balance between hospitality and the medical requirements for aging residents. The studio worked with Revera to understand how the homes operated in their existing communities. By leveraging our \u2018in-between thinking\u2019, <em>Kasian<\/em> found a balance between contemporary residential design and more practical requirements, such as security, medical, and cognitive care. Their answer was a design that met the demands of ageing residents in a non-traditional way. By focusing on creating communal spaces with high functionality and flexibility, the studio\u2019s design provides residents with as much variety as possible for their activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"bannerDinamicAction\" href=\":\/\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-imageid=\"0\" title=\"\">\n    <img class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"\" alt=\"\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">\n<em>Kasian \u2013<\/em> <strong>240 Fourth<\/strong>\n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rugsociety.eu\/blog\/2021\/06\/25\/sig-bergamin-warm-rugs-ideas-for-living-rooms\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=article-image&amp;utm_content=rugsocietyblog-kasian-toronto&amp;utm_campaign=topID&amp;utm_term=asousa\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/rugsociety.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Kasian-%E2%80%93-240-Fourth-1.jpg\" alt=\"Kasian, The Best Rugs for Contract Projects\" class=\"wp-image-14885\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rugsociety.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Kasian-\u2013-240-Fourth-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/rugsociety.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Kasian-\u2013-240-Fourth-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rugsociety.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Kasian-\u2013-240-Fourth-1-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>QuadReal was redeveloping BP Centre, a 1980s building in the heart of Calgary with a dated look. QuadReal\u2019s goal was to attract tenants through redesigned public spaces and the addition of tenant amenities. QuadReal engaged people to apply our\u00a0Lifescape\u2122\u00a0thinking and explore a new identity for the building, unlocking the building\u2019s full potential and attracting new tenants. Natural light was scarce in the 30,000 square-foot public environments, with limited window exposure hidden beneath deep soffits. Previous renovations were disjointed and <em>Kasian<\/em> sought to create a welcoming experience.

The complex public-private partnership (P3) completed with Bouygues and Bird needed to push the boundaries of patient-centred care and efficiency. For inspiration,  <em>Kasian<\/em> looked to the forest and, perhaps surprisingly, to the airport.

When the current way of working doesn\u2019t necessarily feel broken, it can be difficult to see the need for a fix. But, Morrison Hershfield was seeking more than just a physical move and embraced the opportunity to evolve how they carry out their day-to-day work. This forward-thinking practice looked to accelerate its transition to a technology-enabled and design-driven workplace. This shift not only impacted the daily habits and goals of around 300 staff members that needed to be explored and mapped out, but the in-between spaces beside desks, offices, and meeting rooms that were used to store rolls of drawings had to be defined, planned, and optimized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">\n<em>Kasian \u2013<\/em> <strong>YVR<\/strong>\n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rugsociety.eu\/blog\/2021\/06\/25\/sig-bergamin-warm-rugs-ideas-for-living-rooms\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=article-image&amp;utm_content=rugsocietyblog-kasian-toronto&amp;utm_campaign=topID&amp;utm_term=asousa\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"761\" src=\"https:\/\/rugsociety.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Kasian-%E2%80%93-YVR.jpg\" alt=\"Kasian, The Best Rugs for Contract Projects\" class=\"wp-image-14893\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rugsociety.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Kasian-\u2013-YVR.jpg 800w, https:\/\/rugsociety.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Kasian-\u2013-YVR-300x285.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rugsociety.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Kasian-\u2013-YVR-768x731.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rugsociety.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Kasian-\u2013-YVR-400x380.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For the past 11 years, Skytrax has named Vancouver International Airport (YVR) the best airport in North America, as chosen by passengers. The architecture\u2019s intuitive, contextual design makes even the most infrequent passengers feel comfortable and confident. <em>Kasian<\/em> relationship with YVR started over 25 years ago with a high-quality washroom renovation, and they haven\u2019t stopped working with the Airport Authority since. The studio has become an extension of the YVR team, weaving the \u2018Land, Sea and Sky\u2019 narrative into the very fabric of the airport. They have led multidisciplinary teams on many diverse projects, including landside and airside operations from\u00a0terminal expansions\u00a0and renovations, to hold rooms, new gates, passenger processing, and baggage-handling infrastructure. The challenge is to create an intuitive design with the right balance of storytelling, decision making, and resting points to optimize flow and overall experience \u2013 it\u2019s choreography, much like a dance. In conjunction with YVR\u2019s team, <em>Kasian<\/em> participated in the development and implementation of a thematic master plan that reimagines the airport as a series of chapters, telling stories of British Columbia\u2019s land, sea and sky. Each new project begins with a collaborative design workshop where they create a vision around a compelling story and integrate YVR\u2019s functional needs into the narrative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"bannerDinamicAction\" href=\":\/\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-imageid=\"0\" title=\"\">\n    <img class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"\" alt=\"\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">\n<em>Kasian \u2013<\/em> <strong>Edmonton Federal Building<\/strong>\n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rugsociety.eu\/blog\/2021\/06\/25\/sig-bergamin-warm-rugs-ideas-for-living-rooms\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=article-image&amp;utm_content=rugsocietyblog-kasian-toronto&amp;utm_campaign=topID&amp;utm_term=asousa\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"620\" src=\"https:\/\/rugsociety.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Kasian-%E2%80%93-Edmonton-Federal-Building.jpg\" alt=\"Kasian, The Best Rugs for Contract Projects\" class=\"wp-image-14888\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rugsociety.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Kasian-\u2013-Edmonton-Federal-Building.jpg 800w, https:\/\/rugsociety.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Kasian-\u2013-Edmonton-Federal-Building-300x233.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rugsociety.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Kasian-\u2013-Edmonton-Federal-Building-768x595.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rugsociety.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Kasian-\u2013-Edmonton-Federal-Building-90x70.jpg 90w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On the north-east side of the Alberta Legislature grounds stands a proud piece of Canada\u2019s heritage: the Edmonton Federal Building. Originally constructed in the 1950s as Western Canada\u2019s federal offices, this Art-Deco building is revered as one of the best enduring examples of this style of architecture in the country. After it was purchased by the Government of Alberta in the \u201880s, the building sat empty for decades. In the early 2000s, the government began its restoration, updating and converting the space into provincial government offices with a beautiful new plaza. The building is a showpiece of great pride for the grounds and a public gathering space for the community of Edmonton. <em>Kasian<\/em> philosophy for the Edmonton Federal Building project was driven by the equal importance of both the interior and exterior of the building. The studio facilitated multiple design workshops and discussed ideas to ensure <em>Kasian<\/em> approached this project from a high level, drilling down to the details and interiors. <em>Kasian<\/em> contrasted small-scale spaces within the building with a large entrance pavilion featuring tall windows and natural light. Large wooden columns spread across the shiny new atrium-like trees, while a living green wall caressed the lobby. The studio also created an 11th-floor hosting pavilion with panoramic views of the city and the legislature grounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To see more about the best rugs for contract projects from <em><strong>Kasian<\/strong><\/em>, go to <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kasian.com\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=article-text&amp;utm_content=rugsocietyblog-kasian-toronto&amp;utm_campaign=topID&amp;utm_term=asousa\" title=\"\">their website<\/a><\/span><\/strong>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See Also: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/rugsociety.eu\/blog\/2021\/06\/23\/get-to-know-the-exquisite-untamed-la-finca-home-in-madrid\/\" title=\"\">Get to know The Exquisite Untamed La Finca Home in Madrid<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What did you think about this article on <strong><em>Kasian<\/em><\/strong>?
