A revamp’d portal at reception—sleek and sculptural like a makeup compact—frames the entry in signature style. Brand messaging floats above the desk, instantly connecting the space to Sephora’s core values.

Big impact, smart spend: To bring the space to life, we teamed up with Sephora’s marketing pros to strategically place branded graphics with a punch. These moments layer in brand identity and intuitive wayfinding without the need for expensive architectural moves.

The office features an array of breakout spaces, phone booths, and quiet areas, all positioned to support both collaboration and heads-down work. Because great ideas (like great skincare) sometimes need a little space to shine.

Just like a great skincare routine, for Sephora’s Toronto office we focused on impact without excess. With a modest budget, the design kept what worked, minimized heavy architectural interventions, and let bold brand moments do the heavy lifting. The result is a polished, high-functioning space that glows with personality.

Every good brand story starts with a bold first look. Ours began with a creative studio in Los Angeles. Toronto became the next layer in the Sephora x Revel story with our first full office project together and the strengthening of a design partnership that led up to their corporate workplace headquarters located in San Francisco.

For this Toronto office, coordinating across borders meant twice the players and twice the precision. Every role, from design to project management had both a local and San Francisco-based team for both Revel and Sephora. Seamless communication between all the various levels kept things smooth and picture-perfect from concept to closeout.
