The Collective worked alongside CBRE, HOK, and Ledcor to furnish Ernst & Young's (EY) four-floor, carbon-neutral office in a Vancouver high-rise building called 'The Stack'. The building boasts panoramic views of the city and mountains and features the most innovative interior office design.

The Collective deployed a centralized Account Management team and a Vancouver-local service presence to manage the project successfully. Additionally, the team oversaw the manufacturing process from Teknion facilities in Ontario and Quebec. The model ensured timely delivery and face-to-face communication throughout the project's critical milestones.

The 19th floor serves as a welcoming environment for EY to collaborate with and entertain guests. Specialty furniture pieces with earthy-inspired styles complement the architecture's clean lines. Natural wood tones, glass-front meeting rooms, and metal accents create a sophisticated setting.

Acoustic Teknion architectural walls consisting of Tek Vue, DG Focus, and Altos are installed throughout EY's office and show off a custom blue frame that matches the client's desired design aesthetic. A Tekroom, a private encapsulated meeting pod, supports the individual or small group focus work within the open plan working environment.
