Nestled within the picturesque landscape of Stouffville, Ontario, the new 13,000 sq. ft. office complex and farm-fresh store for King Cole Ducks stands as a testament to the company’s unwavering dedication to sustainable farming practices and community engagement. This remarkable addition to their main farm property not only signifies growth but also embodies a harmonious blend of rustic charm and modern functionality, echoing the essence of King Cole Ducks’ ethos.
OUR GOAL
The primary objective of this ambitious project was twofold: firstly, to alleviate the constraints posed by the previous cramped and compartmentalized office space, and secondly, to create a multifaceted hub that seamlessly integrates office operations with retail experiences, all while staying true to the company’s core values.
In transitioning the staff from their former workspace to the expansive new complex, our goal was to not only provide ample room for growth but also to foster a collaborative and adaptable environment that caters to the diverse needs and working styles of the team. Furthermore, with the addition of the farm-fresh store, our aim was to establish a vibrant retail destination that not only showcases the exceptional products of King Cole Ducks but also serves as a community hub for culinary exploration and education.
By marrying functionality with aesthetic appeal and incorporating sustainable design principles throughout, our overarching goal was to create a space that not only inspires creativity and productivity but also fosters a profound sense of connection to the land and the rich heritage of King Cole Ducks.
