Daly Co. was given the opportunity through a local connection to support the realization of the Galleria at MET Printings' new head offices in Vancouver. The architect on the project had already designed to look, cabinetry and features of this installation and we were asked to work with them to further detail it and produce a final product that blend seamlessly into the space already clad with old-growth Douglas Fir which had aged over the years. To do this, we had to start with a younger growth fir product with a wider grain profile and develop a process that would give this wood to aged appearance to match the walls through texture and coatings. The design we created allowed the work to go up piece by piece, mounted securely to the floor and walls and then be tightened to bring everything square and plum. The Galleria is the first thing clients see when they come into the space, and it houses samples and awards that the printing house has generated over its many years of operation with a high standard of excellence.
