Work, Reimagined | May/June 2023 Issue

What’s Inside:

Inspiring Health & Wellness Spaces, A&D’s Labour Movement, Fantastic Cladding Solutions and more!

Work From Here

Our annual workspaces issue celebrates offices – in Lima, Toronto, Zurich and beyond – that do double duty as social hubs.

Offices, post-lockdown, need to be places that provide mental and spiritual sustenance – and those featured in this issue do exactly that. We refer to them as “work-slash” settings, as in work-slash-culture and work-slash-well-being, because they have higher callings than simply being places where things get done. From On’s new Zurich headquarters – where a series of spiral staircases forms a hiking trail – to Universal Music Canada’s community-embracing flagship in Toronto by Superkül and Lima’s Interbank HQ reimagined by WORKac, we explore spaces that elevate the nine to five.
