Hubs designed for connection
Shopify Ottawa
With a fresh outlook on what Workspace really means to them, Shopify devised a plan to implement Hub Spaces within the footprint of their existing locations in major centers. Given their workforce is now 100% remote, these Hubs are to serve as a meeting and collaboration center for their various teams.

As community and culture has always been at the heart of their business, it was important that these highly collaborative meeting spaces be complimented by engaging social spaces where Shopifolk can eat, drink and engage. From Coffee Bars to Karaoke Bars, iN STUDIO worked closely with Shopify to create memorable and comfortable hospitality spaces that provide an escape from high energy meetings - allowing a place to unwind and have fun.
Distributed across three floors, each space has its own distinct look and feel and is designed to evoke specific emotional responses - from the coziness of a dimly lit bar to bar to biophilic energy of a urban café. As always, the fixtures and furniture act as a showcase for Shopify’s vendors – a physical representation of the client’s commitment to customer service.
Already considered a pioneer in non-traditional work environments, these hospitality hubs represent yet another novel approach to workspace real estate —a distinct way of bringing employees together in a new era.
