Leckie Studio created a new headquarters for communications-based software company Slack in downtown Vancouver’s Yaletown district. The project included renovating the industrial space while keeping the original character of the building, like exposed brick, wooden beams, and exposed ductwork and mechanics that keep the office running. The interior boasts skylights and large windows that allow natural daylight to enter and fill the space. A large moss-covered wall brings an organic element into the industrial interior.

Physical place-branding has always been important, but at this moment, twenty years into the internet-generated digital age, it matters more than ever. Today, ideas, businesses, and relationships could live solely online, operating in a digital capacity only, but that’s not the direction most companies are headed. We are seeing the swing toward remote work of the first half of the decade boomerang back toward in-person collaboration at many workplaces. Leaders are realizing the irreplicable value of face-to-face collaboration and the resulting boost to their business’s output and success.

The same team reassembled to bring the 1960’s bowling alley — legendary for its live music, late nights, and, of course, lanes — to the 21st century while retaining its rocker patina. Exterior repairs included white-washing original brick and restoring neon signage.

It was 1965 when Ted Turner founded Turner Broadcasting System. In 1979, he purchased acres of land for the site of one of the company’s Atlanta headquarters. Today, Turner, as it’s now called, counts CNN and the Cartoon Network among its assets and is led by John Martin. Coming on as chairman and CEO in 2014, Martin aspired to revolutionize TV while also moving Turner toward new media. “Just as Turner is on a mission to reimagine TV, the campus should better foster the culture of innovation, creativity, and excellence that started here decades ago,” Martin says. Such was the gauntlet thrown down at Rapt Studio.

Starting your own business is about more than just doing what you love — it's about doing it on your own terms. Independent of their choice of industry, many entrepreneurs are drawn to the idea of being their own boss. What they don't bargain for is how much they will have to deal with constant interruptions and tedious minutiae. The good news, however, is that you are the boss, and if you think something needs to change, there's no one holding you back from making that change. So, though you may have started out handling everything from marketing to sales as your company grows, you need to spend less time in the weeds in order to focus on the big picture. The answer, of course, is delegation.
