Description
The second floor of 169 King Street East, a historic three-storey commercial warehouse in Toronto, now houses a dynamic real estate and design PR firm.
Constructed in 1836, 169 King Street East holds historical significance as one of Toronto’s oldest rows of buildings. Once home to the influential Daily Leader newspaper, the building’s rich past adds to its charm. Originally a restaurant, the second-floor space was repurposed into a PR agency office. The interior boasts unique elements like a glass-encased steel stairway, exposed brick walls, operable windows, a slanted interior window, lofty ceilings with skylights, and an operational steel hoist beam.
A workspace that not only accommodates the firm’s flexible and collaborative work culture but also captures the essence of their creative ethos.

The design concept centered around accentuating the existing textured and minimalist palette. The layout includes dedicated spaces such as a boardroom and pitch room defined by floor-to-ceiling glass partitions. Towards the rear, a new kitchenette flows into a relaxed lounge area, complemented by a touch-down station and lockable file storage.
A standout feature of the design is a striking custom pendant fixture by Toronto’s Lightmaker Studio, elegantly suspended above a modular custom sofa set adorned with vibrant, diverse fabrics. The blackened brass of the pendant fixture pays homage to the original steel hoist beam, which played a vital role in the fixture’s installation process.
The design strategy embraced this historic backdrop, weaving a textured, timeless, and minimalist aesthetic that resonated with both the architect and the client. A bespoke blackened brass light fixture added a touch of intimacy, elegantly suspended above flexible lounge furniture. The relocation of this fixture was made seamless by the original hoist beam, which graciously accommodated the precise positioning with a touch of finesse.
