mackaywong is a strategy + design agency located in the heart of Toronto’s Entertainment District. We happily spend our time dreaming up extraordinary guest inspired experiences for the world’s best restaurant, hotel and casino brands.

Since 1991, the team has created hundreds of beautiful restaurants, bars and clubs, dozens of stylish hotels and destination casinos, developed a gazillion logos, umpteen brand strategies and left a mountain of lovely sketches along the way. Together with our clients, we define and position their concepts, visualize their identities and breathe life into the spaces using every means available. We develop what these experiences can do, identify who they are for and shape the memories that follow. We draw the pictures, select the materials, manage the process, crash the Opening Party and definitely a whole lot more.

A new chapter for the Red Shores Casino.
 
The newly expanded gaming floor brings a vibrant mix of colour, light, and energy to the guest experience. From bold carpet patterns and illuminated ceiling features to refreshed seating throughout the space.

Designed to feel dynamic, inviting, and full of momentum, the expansion creates a gaming environment that reflects the excitement of Red Shores.

A closer look at The Rec Room in Vancouver, featured in Polyflor’s latest case study.
For this vibrant entertainment and dining destination, our team specified Polyflor’s Expona Commercial PUR flooring to support a high-traffic space that needed durability, easy maintenance, and strong visual impact. Led by Design Director Sarah Degrace, the project transformed the historic Granville Street venue into a bold and energetic environment where the flooring helps define the guest experience while complementing the building’s heritage-inspired design.
A special thank you to Lindsay Tozzo for helping bring this visual story to life.

We are thrilled to announce that mackaywong is leading the creative repositioning of Toronto's iconic Real Sports Bar & Grill for Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment.

Our vision is to immerse guests in the heart of Toronto Sports fandom and create the ultimate Gameday experience. The updated interior will boast exciting immersive video, state-of-the-art audio, and 'Hall of Fame' grade sports memorabilia. We've even integrated a portion of the 2019 Raptors Championship Court, allowing fans to stand on the exact spot where Kawhi Leonard launched his memorable playoff Buzzer Be**er!

We look forward to revealing this exciting new vision very soon.
