Location: Distillery District, Toronto

Project Scope/Client Needs

Our client (RSG) provides management education to technology leaders. As part of a larger renovation they needed a solution for a place for their clients to put their coats and belongings, basically a coat room. Because the layout of the space had a small hallway between two larger open rooms, they decided to use this space as their coat room in order to maximize the use of their other spaces.

Solution/Implementation

Working alongside Mette Designs, we collaborated on a design that incorporated repairing the drywall, painting, and building a custom coat rack as well as installing wooden crates as cubbies to store belongings in. We created a custom mounting solution that was strong and secure, maximized the space available, and used some pre-fabricated elements which were budget-friendly.

This walkthrough hallway was dedicated to all the cables and was the perfect blank canvas.

It had some beautiful characteristics like an exposed brick wall and wood beam ceiling.

Prefabricated crates were used to provide individual storage spaces and shoe racks provide moveable lower organization space. The coat hooks were custom made (by us!) to provide maximum hanging space.
