Manulife Head Office Exterior Renovations / Martin Simmons Sweers Architects

Architectural Vision + Design. The project began with the client’s desire to provide a more fulfilling work experience for staff and to encourage greater enjoyment of the existing nature surrounding The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company (“Manulife”). To this end, the architects envisioned a new kind of office space – an “open-air office” that would not only provide an enticing outdoor setting for coffee and lunch breaks but would also become an alternative place for employees to perform their daily work activities.
