Located in Toronto’s west end in the Geary Corridor, PARTISANS’ new studio space spans a single-level and covers 11,000 square feet, providing ample room for the practice to grow to over 100 team members. The group took a collective approach in designing the new space, pulling from their community of architects, interior designers, researchers, and other professionals.

The original space was a former gear and machine factory and is located in Toronto's old industrial neighborhood, now an area with a thriving arts and music scene, along with some of Toronto's newest restaurants, bars, and breweries. 

In addition to four meeting rooms, and 40 desks, an additional 1,500 sq ft is dedicated to the workshop -- a space for research and in-house development, including a 3D printing room and archive and material library. 

Social space was an important aspect of the design, introduced to facilitate group brainstorms and lively debate. Moreover, the new studio features work by local artists Kent Monkman, Curtis Santiago, Erin Armstrong, and Scott Macfarldand, among others.
