Photo Express reached out to us to work in their new project. They were looking forward to moving into their new rented space. The scope of work included the design of the layout and the creation of a mezzanine.

We started by designing the main floor layout which includes a photo studio, photography related retail services, administration offices, and a printing workshop as well in the back. Due to the number of employees and visitors expected the tenant space required an accessible washroom compliant with the building code requirements.

We also designed a mezzanine available to be rented, it has its washrooms, emergency stairs and it is fully separated with fire-rated dismissing walls from the rest of the unit.

For this project, we also included electrical, data and phone outlets information in the plans which was crucial for furniture location. The result was a well-thought layout that included all of our client’s needs and boosted their business productivity and allowed them to lease space to support their mortgage.

The permit was issued promptly and the construction is already completed as you can see in the gallery below.
