Our Toronto studio is a testament to form following function, designing our space for how we like to work. Located in the iconic CBC Broadcast Centre, the former production studio’s soaring ceilings and vast floor area offered unimpeded opportunities to our design team. The new studio accommodates both collaborative and private work, providing DIALOGers with a space that enables creativity and innovation. These diverse spaces are categorized under five distinct zones: meet, well, make, share, and work, each tailored to optimize our team’s potential and wellbeing.

The Team
Tracy LeeThe new studio makes our culture tangible. It’s a space that speaks volumes about who we are.
It all started with a sketch.
Including an area to host events was important to support our community initiatives.
Dedicating a space for DIALOGers to build relationships with each other was equally important.
The kitchen provides ample seating and table space, along with pin-up walls and ad hoc sketch rolls.
Flexible horizontal and vertical surfaces to showcase our work were incorporated throughout the studio.
Open work spaces, private break-out rooms, lounges, dedicated work stations, and hoteling stations provide ample options to suit individuals’ needs.
