Gifts of the Raven is a retail space that was created to be sensitive to its location in the centre of the Vancouver Airport’s International Terminal. The driving force behind the design of this store was to display authentic native art in a museum-like setting, taking advantage of its prime retail location. The result was a boutique that allowed an appreciation of the airport’s architecture, while at the same time giving customers an uninhibited view of the merchandise within the boutique at all hours whether open or closed.

This space was conceived to consolidate the Accenture and ABSU offices into one office, which incorporated the company’s updated strategies for space planning. Maximizing space was a major element of the overall design. The project was expediently carried out and completed for occupancy before the expirationon of the lease on the vacant space.
The office was designed to create a fresh new environment, in line with Accenture’s international image, while at the same me
maintaining its own identity in relation to its location in Vancouver.

Colors and materials were selected to reflect a Pacific Northwest aestheticc including medium toned woods, natural stone
and textured glass to emulate water.

The layout of the offices includes uniform workstations throughout, which eliminated any sense of hierarchy based on workstation sizes. Collaborative work spaces are scattered throughout each floor to encourage team building.
