Eckler_Actuarial Office 3

Construction is starting in this 5,200 sf space.  I love seeing the tree canopy beyond - what a surprising vantage point over Toronto!  I have designed transparent offices with sliding tempered glass walls, an open creative studio, a generous communal kitchen, and a spacious modern working environment that will include cutting edge technology and various approaches to formal and informal collaboration.  I am excited about the furniture we have selected.  Of course, we must be patient because of the August factory shut-down in Italy for some of these special pieces - but I can't help but think that they have the right idea.  I like having a balanced mix of custom designed millwork, locally fabricated pieces, classics, and selectively imported elements.
