Something big is taking shape for Superior Hearing.

Erin and Courtney came to us with a vision for their brand-new Memorial Avenue location: a “forever” office designed to support the next chapter of their business.

From design and planning to flooring, demountable walls, furniture and project coordination, the vision is officially becoming a reality.

And we’re just getting started. Stay tuned to see the finished space!

What started as an empty tent quickly became a space full of people, music and great energy!

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by the Lounge at the Westfort Street Fair. We loved creating the space, but seeing you enjoy it is what really brought it to life.

A space designed to support every part of campus life.

The goal for LU was to create a dynamic, flexible community space within the Faculty of Education that could be shared by instructors, staff, students, and community partners. The room was designed to support collaboration, study groups, breaks between classes, meetings, workshops, feasts and meals, and a wide range of community events.

The Student Lounge renovation marks the first phase of a broader vision to refresh several teaching and learning spaces throughout the Bora Laskin building, including the Graduate Student Lounge, the Kakina Nidinawe Maaganuk Ceremony Room, and, in the longer term, the auditorium and stage.

Our team rolled up their sleeves for Westfort Clean Up Day — armed with garbage bags, community spirit, and just enough determination to battle the wind.

As proud members of the Westfort Business Association, OMI was happy to do our part to help keep the neighbourhood looking its best.

Huge thanks to our OMI crew who joined in, and an extra shoutout to Aaron at The Sal for once again saving the day with post-cleanup poutine. Honestly? Community service tastes even better with gravy and cheese curds.

And of course, special recognition goes to this year’s team leader, Aila, who managed to collect three socks, assorted mystery treasures, and possibly win the unofficial award for “most interesting cleanup finds.”

“Working with Open Mind Interiors on our new office space was an incredible experience”
That sentiment sits at the heart of the Red River Holdings project.

Led by the Provenzano family, the team envisioned a space that was not only functional, but truly reflective of how they work and grow together. From first concept to final detail, the goal was to listen, collaborate, and bring that vision to life.

The result is a bright, flexible headquarters at 920 Tungsten Street; designed to support daily operations today, while adapting seamlessly for tomorrow.

A space they’re proud to work in every day, and we’re proud to have helped create.
