About

Mission Thrift Stores—a volunteer-powered, faith-driven organization with over 50 locations across Canada recently moved their head office. But with a tight budget for updates, they needed a fresh look without the hefty price tag.

Enter creativity. 

With strategic design and a little paint magic, we transformed their space in simple yet impactful ways. Sometimes, it’s not about how much you spend it’s about how creatively you use what you have. And the result? A refreshed, inspiring workspace that feels brand new without breaking the bank.

Our Goal

Our goal for the space was to create a brighter, more inviting environment while seamlessly integrating the Mission Thrift Stores brand. By using strategic design elements and creative branding touches, we transformed the space into one that feels both fresh and distinctly their own.

Mural Installations

We wanted to honour the organization’s rich history by incorporating timelines and mural designs that tell its story in a visually engaging way. These elements not only celebrate the past but also create a meaningful connection between the space and the people who walk through it. Creative paint solutions also added interest and aided in incorporating the brand within the space.

Summary

At the end of this project, we felt incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work with Mission Thrift Stores and gain a deeper understanding of the impact they have as a not-for-profit organization. Learning about their dedication to sustainability, community support, and giving back was truly inspiring, and we’re honoured to have played a small part in bringing their vision to life through design.

Eco Guardian

Eco Guardian, born from modest origins, embarked on a journey to champion eco-friendly solutions, initially starting with the production of shopping bags. Over the past five years, this remarkable company has experienced rapid growth, expanding its product line to encompass hundreds of unique offerings and employing a substantial workforce. As the company outgrew its previous premises, the need for a revitalized space that resonated with its brand identity became apparent. The design concept for their new space was purposefully centered around the core ethos of Eco Guardian: promoting eco-friendly practices. To authentically reflect this commitment, renewable materials were conscientiously selected, emphasizing sustainability and minimizing environmental impact. Moreover, the company’s own products were ingeniously incorporated into bespoke installations, sparking conversations and serving as striking visual representations of their brand values. Drawing inspiration from nature, elements reminiscent of the natural world are thoughtfully interwoven throughout the space, creating an organic and harmonious ambiance. Ample use of large windows not only floods the area with natural light but also establishes a constant connection with the outside environment, reinforcing the company’s commitment to preserving and cherishing the natural world. In essence, the redesigned space for Eco Guardian embodies their unwavering dedication to eco-friendliness, utilizing renewable materials, and showcasing their own sustainable products. By seamlessly blending nature-inspired elements and an abundance of natural light, the space serves as a tangible testament to the company’s values, offering both employees and visitors an immersive experience aligned with the principles they hold dear.
