TCC can be proud to have Air Canada among its customers; managing the assets of its pension funds with undeniable success. At the dawn of 2022, TCC sees the need to expand its existing offices, located on the 20th floor of the Bell Tower, on Avenue McGill Collège in downtown Montreal. Artesa was pleased to be entrusted with the design of this expansion, occurring through the acquisition of two adjacent vacant suites. As a result, TCC is now the only occupant of their floor – its expanded and renovated offices now spread over nearly 18,000 sq.ft. Although this project could have been limited to the extension of existing concepts and furniture, TCC wanted several changes to rationalize/enhance its existing spaces:

• Open stations arranged along the glazed exterior walls, while closed offices, meeting rooms and other more utilitarian partitioned spaces, arranged in the center;
• New fun collaborative work areas set up between open workstation areas, made up of modular furniture and arched by functional/decorative bay windows;
• New individual booths for employee communications in open positions;
• New collaborative benches – sophisticated and tailor-made concept for meeting there as in a fun zone;
• Existing reception area reconfigured and improved: new modular waiting furniture, signs and wall imagery – corporate graphics exclusive to TCC and designed by Artesa.

Artesa had the privilege, with the appreciated collaborations of Air Canada and engineering firms, to participate in the design of this project; offering TCC coherent and dynamic layouts, a sober and sophisticated atmosphere, and a renewed and distinctive brand image.

The Caisse Desjardins des Grands Boulevards project obtained 6 certifications including Gold Certification in the category Bureau / Bureau ≤ 5 400 pi2 (≤ 500 m2).

The recent revelation of the dynamic and colorful interior designs of Caisse Desjardins des Grands Boulevards marks a significant turning point in its commitment to modernity and the well-being of its members. The spaces have been meticulously designed to reflect this vision, with vibrant tones and inspiring patterns that create an uplifting and welcoming ambiance from the moment you walk through the doors. The quality of the execution is distinguished by refined details and particular attention paid to each aspect of the layout, thus guaranteeing an enriched and memorable customer experience.

Office spaces have also benefited from this transformation, providing employees with a revitalized work environment conducive to productivity. Comfortable relaxation areas have been integrated to promote informal exchanges and employee well-being, thus encouraging collaboration and creativity within the team. In addition, the introduction of an open area promotes the fluidity of interactions and reinforces the feeling of belonging to a dynamic and engaged community.

In short, this new aesthetic represents much more than a simple visual update; it embodies the evolution and ongoing commitment of Caisse Desjardins des Grands Boulevards to excellence and innovation. By harmoniously uniting quality workmanship, revitalized office spaces, and a welcoming atmosphere, this dynamic and colorful interior design truly reflects the vibrant identity of the institution while providing an incomparable customer and employee experience.

This event allowed our firm to highlight the talents of teammates as well as demonstrate the wide variety of talents within its team.
