Corporate Interiors | Ottawa, Canada

Warm wood tones and shades of blue give Marvell’s Ottawa workplace a welcoming feel, while layered acoustic treatments help it work as comfortably as it looks. S. Tipton Studio brought Marvell’s global workplace design standards into a local setting, creating places for focused work alongside spaces where colleagues can gather for collaboration.

Acoustics shaped decisions throughout the office. Specialty ceiling tiles, textured wall panels installed with air gaps and carefully selected flooring address sound across different spaces. Double-wall construction at television locations adds another layer of separation. These solutions also add depth to the interiors, with soft surfaces and dimensional patterns becoming part of the design.

Elsewhere, enclosed focus rooms offer space to concentrate, while nearby lounge chairs and shared worktables accommodate a change of setting. Circadian lighting with extensive controls and three wellness rooms support a wider range of daily needs.

The café brings that approach overhead. A custom acoustic ceiling draws on circuit-board patterns, pairing blue baffles with integrated linear lighting. Below, wood finishes and biophilic design frame a mix of tables and counter seating. Illustrated Ottawa scenes give the banquettes a distinctly local backdrop.
