Featured Projects

Finastra

Finastra, one of the largest fintech companies in the world, sought to merge multiple locations into their new flagship Canadian Headquarters. Having already engaged POI on their Toronto office, Finastra leveraged their global contract with Steelcase in their selection of POI as their partner of choice.

Conestoga College

Conestoga College set out with a plan to construct an International Students’ Campus and chose Kitchener’s Market Square to do so. The College engaged POI as educational environment experts to provide both insights as well as curated, durable furnishing solutions. The Campus would be an exciting, edgy, and exhilarating environment that would stimulate student engagement, collaboration and learning in a non-traditional setting.

KingSett Capital

KingSett, a company that values both tradition and well-being, had outgrown their space in the TD Tower and needed to expand. Having recently acquired the Scotia Plaza, the opportunity to move there and take two full floors allowed for the design of a more functional, collaborative and engaging space for their employees.

Leddy Library Collaboratory, University of Windsor

POI worked with Di Maio Design Associates Architect Inc. to develop a unique, functional and collaborative area for U of W as part of a broader plan to create different neighbourhoods where students could meet, interact, hangout and present. The Collaboratory at Leddy Library was created as a destination space and meeting hub for students on campus. In designing the space, POI and the architect, with direction from U of W, decided to implement an indigenous theme and committed to making it a welcoming zone for all students.

Our Other Projects

Rosedale Day School

Rosedale Day School (RDS) engaged POI to help them create a 21st century learning environment in a Manhattan-style mixed commercial and residential facility in the heart of Toronto. With progressive thinking driving increased attendance, RDS took on an extra floor due to its expansion requirements.

Dillon Consulting

Dillon Consulting chose to engage POI with the goal of increasing business and end-user flexibility by maximizing choice and control for employees while fostering greater social interaction. The interior designer effectively updated an older space in the same building, and infused colour to deliver an airy modern feel.

Eckler

Eckler moved out of an older building to a more progressive space with a smaller footprint. Along with project lead Scott Dorion (RWT Inc.), they engaged POI and an interior designer with the intent to drive greater collaboration while keeping employees on two floors. That meant reducing panel heights and limiting the number of private offices which dominated their previous workspace.

DecisivEdge

When U.S based DecisivEdge expanded into Canada, they looked to POI to create a fresh, fun and contemporary space that would both attract and retain future employees.

Canadian Hearing Services

Canadian Hearing Services(CHS) approached POI to supply interior furnishings for their head office. Their goal was a complete space and design refresh that would make better use of natural light by bringing down cubicle heights to create a more open concept collaborative environment.

College of Dental Hygienists of Ontario

As the primary regulatory body for over 14,000 registered dental hygienists in Ontario, the College of Dental Hygienists of Ontario (CDHO) moved from their former half floor location to a new facility nearby. The design intent for their new space was to reflect greater openness and approachability.
