DarkVision’s new headquarters in North Vancouver brings together office, lab, production, and testing functions under one roof. The result is a purpose-built facility that reflects the company’s innovative edge and ambitious growth.

The space integrates precision-engineering environments with vibrant, people-focused amenities. Office areas feature a balance of open workstations, enclosed meeting rooms, and collaborative lounges, all connected by clear sightlines and strategic lighting. The adjacent lab, production, and testing facilities are equipped to support DarkVision’s highly technical processes, allowing teams to move seamlessly from concept to deployment.

A major highlight is its amenity program — a double-height auditorium with tiered seating, a full fitness centre with gym, squash court, climbing wall, and steam room. Finishes and furnishings throughout balance durability with a refined, modern aesthetic.

The challenge
Designing for precision and people in the same building

DarkVision's operations span highly technical lab and production environments alongside a rapidly growing team that needed real workplace amenities. Creating a single facility that could serve both worlds — without compromise — required careful acoustic separation, distinct material strategies, and a programming approach that kept people connected across very different functions.

The outcome
A headquarters that reflects where DarkVision is going

The completed facility gives DarkVision a home that matches their ambition. The auditorium has become a genuine gathering space for company-wide events. The fitness amenities are consistently used and cited in recruitment. Most importantly, the technical and office teams share a building that feels cohesive — not like two separate facilities bolted together.
