About Us

Exploring design boundaries as they relate to a particular project is a key component of our design philosophy. At Southside, our design choices are driven by bold concepts. We develop these concepts based on a meticulous analysis and interpretation of our client’s goals and objectives. Our creative inspiration is diverse, personal and global. Art, sculpture, music, literature, mathematics and technology all play a role in our creative playground. Enduring design resonates because it is thoughtful, connected and remarkably appropriate for a particular place in time.

ELITE

The 8,000-sf office space was designed in 2021 for a progressive construction company. The program included a main reception, boardroom, executive offices, project manager workstations, accounting and estimating offices as well as a kitchenette and washrooms.

The floor material is a dark stained white oak. Millwork is walnut veneer with counter surfaces being quartz. The glazing system is black anodized aluminum with a combination of black metal and brass hardware. The entrance ceiling includes a suspended rib cage like wood trellis piece which is painted black.

The boardroom also includes a curvilinear ceiling feature which pays homage to some of the vases that the well-respected Finnish architect, Alvar Aalto designed.

The space has been designed to allow natural light to filter into the interior of the project. Energy efficient LED suspended fixtures have been used throughout.
