Evolving the traditional ‘PC’ (presentation centre) into a platform for community building.
At Outpost in Port Moody we wanted to create a venue that serves as a community space and is not seen as a typical sales gallery.
We designed unexpected, memorable moments throughout, including the integration of retail pop-ups and public artwork for the project conceived by local artist, Alex Morrison.
Two of the main design objectives for Outpost Port Moody centre around community: give space, alongside our partner Timbertrain, to foster community and deliver a sense of civic purpose. We took a customer-first approach to all experiences within the building - from the time the customer steps into the front door, to the time they leave.
Outpost Port Moody was opened to the public on June 11, 2022. Since that time over 140,000 guests visited the cafe and sales gallery to experience.
In addition to event programming, Outpost hosted recurring hundreds of themed events.
