SPENCER BUILDING ELEVATORS

Downtown Vancouver, BC

Spencer Option 2 - View 2.jpg

The Spencer Building has been an icon of West Hastings since 1928. The exterior is a blend of Gothic Revival and Art Deco styles, featuring intricate cast stones and brick masonry. To contrast this historical building the landlord was looking for a modern redesign of the elevator cabs more reflective of the young and dynamic tech companies housed in the building. The design uses sleek contemporary glass and steel with a large historical photo paying homage to the past.
