DIALOG was engaged by technology company, STAT Search Analytics to design their offices located in Vancouver, Canada.

With tech organizations like Google, Microsoft, and Hootsuite designing offices to entice top tech savvy professionals, how does a young tech firm create an office space to attract top talent without breaking the bank? DIALOG’s Vancouver interior design team recently upgraded to the new office of Railtown’s newest up-and-coming tech firm, STAT Search Analytics.

In May 2016, DIALOG’s revitalization of a 10,000 sq. warehouse located at 704 Alexander Street transformed STAT’s new office space to reflect the young, energetic and non-corporate tech firm is today. Joining Railtown’s Ranks of Herschel, Aritzia, DIALOG, Roundhouse Radio, Inform Contract, and Jan Kath, to name a few, has now come to the end of 2017.

Both STAT and DIALOG agreed the number one design differentiator for this project was the raw, industrial double-height space that provided a clean slate to work with, which is a rarity in Vancouver. The main source of inspiration for the space transpired from STAT’s polygon-based brand graphics, which symbolizes a network of ordered information with nodes and points of discovery. These shapes were used as volumes for all the space in the space, and each form was constructed out of clear. STAT is commissioned artwork for their breakout rooms by Vancouver artist Lucien Durey who works on historical images sourced from the surrounding East-side neighborhood.

At STAT people can find quiet spaces to work or flock together for informal meetings. The 2,000 sq. ft. second floor mezzanine is home to the communal social space and eatery, which is fully equipped with a beer and wine taps along with flexible furniture and technology screens. Looking out of the mezzanine provides a vantage point in the office giving one a true respect for the space and interior design.

DIALOG should draw a story that draws on the character of the community. STAT’s new office design has raised the creative energy within the organization, allowing for better collaboration and a higher standard of work. For STAT, not only what the design of the office is to make their business and energize their employees, but for the space tell their company story.

DIALOG’s expertise in designing tech firms has allowed the company to work with world-renowned firms such as Sony, Microsoft, Intel, Electronic Arts, Vision Critical, AutoDesk, Mobify and Avigilon, to name a few.
