McKinley Studios transformed a space that was previously a series of educational lecture halls into a modern and functional office space for Mark Anthony Group’s 200+ staff members. The design approach aimed to push beyond the conventional and incorporate innovative technology, creating a workplace that does not only perform but also inspires those who work and visit here.

Mark Anthony Group is a family-owned drinks company, whose headquarters are in Vancouver. As the pioneers in high-end wine making in British Columbia, Canada, they are extremely rooted in tradition. At the same time developing and creating new beverage categories that are distributed globally. This is the foundation for the conceptual inspiration of their office space.

In response to Mark Anthony Group’s mastery in beverage development, the layout was meticulously planned to include a tasting room for product testing and a fully equipped laboratory for new product development. Many areas are designed to showcase their numerous beverage collections and evoke the spirit of hospitality and generosity - important values the company holds. A variety of collaboration and meeting spaces are provided throughout the two level office space including a staff lounge with family-style dining tables and one-on-one booths allowing colleagues to come together and collaborate in casual and meaningful ways.

Sustainability is a key factor in the design approach. To minimize environmental impact and create a timeless environment, several strategies were implemented. The existing perimeter offices were repurposed, and previously occupied lecture classrooms converted into open workstation areas, efficiently utilizing the existing built space. All existing LED light fixtures were reused, significantly reducing project waste, and reinstalled above workstations in a unique layout.

Mark Anthony Group’s office is a spatial representation of who they are – a global and innovative leader in their field. Sustainability was a key factor throughout the project, evident in the selection of materials and the reuse of the existing structure and fixtures. The result is a timeless environment that aligns with Mark Anthony Group's brand vision.
