设计挑战集中在两个主要的客户目标：体现和扩大公司的企业身份，并展示客户的大量收藏加拿大现代艺术。设计解决方案通过不同的程序分区(Meet、L适感、工作和画廊区域)来解决这两个独特的需求，后者通过材料和表面的发挥相互交流。

The design challenge centred on two main client objectives: to embody and amplify the company’s corporate identity, and to display the client’s large collection of Canadian Modern Art. The design solution addresses these two unique requirements by way of distinct program zoning (Meet, Lounge, Work, and Gallery areas), which converse with one another through a play of material and surface.

在设计中，极地形象被比喻为北极意象：一个破碎而又极小的北极景观激发了办公室的物理表达，形成了一个由切片和折叠的平面组成的白色调色板，让人联想到破冰的感觉。这些房间被建造成两个纯粹的长方形物体，“固体”被减除，并被分解成玻璃、白色干墙和柯里安面的破碎房间。透明的天花板平面无形地结合了声学伸展墙织物系统。洞穴和裂缝型空间形成，漂浮在一个无边无际的白色地面上。

Polar’s identity is figuratively incorporated as Arctic imagery in the design: a fractured and minimal arctic landscape inspires the physical expression of the office, resulting in a white palette of sliced and folded planes reminiscent of breaking ice. The rooms are constructed as two pure rectangular objects, ‘solids’ subtractively divided and tessellated into fractured rooms of glass, white drywall and Corian planes. Tessellated ceiling planes invisibly incorporate acoustic stretch wall fabric systems. Cave and crevasse type spaces are formed to float over a boundless white ground plane.

相对于抽象的北极冷墙和天花板，画廊的空间被定义为温暖和质感。烘焙的白色橡木地块是建筑的核心；经过风化、温暖和磨损，它确定了画廊的空间，并定义了整个办公室的公共流通。

In contrast to the abstracted, Arctic-cool wall and ceiling planes, the Gallery space is defined by warmth and texture. Baked white Oak clads the building core; weathered, warm and worn, it identifies the Gallery space and defines public circulation throughout the office.
