G Adventures is a world-leading adventure tourism company, founded in Toronto, with offices around the world and over 1200 employees, who take innovation and new ideas very seriously. In recent years it became apparent that their head office “Base Camp” would soon outgrow their much-loved 110-year-old brick and heavy timber building in downtown Toronto.
The final design includes many features to improve the space’s functionality, light and access. This involved the conversion of the existing main floor into accessible office and customer service spaces, a new kitchen, new meeting rooms, workstations and sound attenuation. We also introduced new structure and opened up the main floor façade with an all glass wall, allowing for access to light, air and visibility to the street. We introduced a new convenience stair with a double function for seating for a large gathering space at its base. The basement level renovation also includes a new AV/Recording studio, conference rooms, a kitchenette, storage and bicycle storage, staff washrooms, showers, and an interior slide.
