An Ottawa tech start-up, whose beginnings started in their founder’s basement, found itself outgrowing its space, as their team quickly expanded. To accommodate their growing workforce, they needed a professional office environment that reflected their modern brand and vibrant culture. To bring their vision to life, the company enlisted interior designer Emily Chamberlain and her team at commercial interior design firm, 4Té Inc.

A Vision for Productivity and Collaboration

The new headquarters’ design focused on a bright, modern aesthetic with abundant natural light, collaborative spaces to encourage teamwork, a central café as a vibrant hub for dining and socializing, and even a custom millwork private speakeasy. Practical requirements like integrated technology, acoustical privacy, and writable surfaces would further enhance functionality and creativity throughout the space.

The Falkbuilt Difference

To achieve her design goals quickly and on budget, Chamberlain turned to Falkbuilt Ottawa for offsite Digital Component Construction and unmatched product quality and flexibility. The ability to deliver custom, innovative solutions – on time and on budget made Falkbuilt the perfect partner for this project.

“The Falkbuilt team, particularly for this project, embraced innovative challenges with impressive enthusiasm, leading to fantastic results. Their professionalism and responsiveness make them a pleasure to work with, and their energy and dedication ensure that we’re all aligned toward the same successful goal — a great design and a satisfied client. The Branch was professional, responsive, and instrumental in the successful implementation of Falkbuilt into this project.”

Inspiring Innovation

Falkbuilt’s virtual factory tours were a standout feature for Emily, and the inspiration gained during her visit to the Calgary Factory HQ further solidified the decision to collaborate with Falkbuilt.

“Our clients have been blown away by the Falkbuilt factory virtual tours. One CEO even described it as ‘the most engaging and well-executed virtual meeting he’s ever been on.’ Falkbuilt has truly exceeded our expectations in every way.”

Building Future Partnerships

The resulting office is more than just a workspace — it’s a dynamic hub that reflects the company’s brand, fosters innovation, and inspires collaboration. The success of this project highlighted the possibilities unlocked by Digital Component Construction, making Falkbuilt a trusted partner for Emily Chamberlain and the team at 4Té Inc. Having now worked with Falkbuilt Ottawa on multiple projects, Emily shared glowing praise for a continued partnership:

“We are absolutely thrilled with Falkbuilt products and their exceptional service. The quality of their offerings, combined with extensive customization options, has allowed us to push the boundaries of our designs in exciting new ways.”

Looking ahead, Chamberlain is excited to continue leveraging Falkbuilt’s innovative solutions to deliver exceptional spaces for their clients.
