What We Do
Our focus is customization, our playground is architecture and our expertise is fabrication. At Eventscape, we collaborate with top architectural firms, designers and artists worldwide to "build the extraordinary."™ It’s our unique, hands-on approach combined with leading digital fabrication technologies that enables us to successfully turn your architectural dreams into reality.
How do we do it? By working together to refine your design concept, providing expertise on materiality, finishes, details and fabrication methods; plus, embracing R+D as a critical part of each project’s success. With dedicated project managers, design detailers, engineers, fabricators, staging as well as shipping services and installers - all in-house, we provide a turnkey solution for building your custom architectural features.
Our culture speaks for itself! An open-concept modern office full of hand-painted collectible movie posters, vintage stereos, 80’s skateboard decks and 2 motorcycles - if you can believe it – which inspire us and are a common source of creativity. Not to mention, you can always leave your desk for a spot beside the fireplace or outside on our patio.
Full of like-minded creatives, who love what they do and have fun doing it, the office is where we host friendly competitions, team celebrations and indulge in delicious snacks from nearby bakeries. Getting together outside the office isn’t uncommon as we continue to participate in Community events (Ride for Heart and Canstruction Toronto) and meet up for paintball sessions or golf games.
This is an exciting, fast-paced work-environment that allows employees to quickly see the results of their contributions. With access to state of the art machinery, we truly are an architectural toy factory. We build what others can’t.
