Stepping off the elevator into the foyer of HudBay Minerals’ new 26,000-square-foot head offices in Toronto, visitors are met with actual ingots of raw zinc on the wall, branded with the HudBay stamp. The ceiling panels are made of recycled spun aluminum that artistically mimics the ceilings of the mines, and some of the walls are made of split-face stone, inspired by company photos of vertical cliffs.
The new office is visually stunning, but when HudBay, which discovers, produces and markets base metals in Canada, the U.S. and Central America, chose Toronto-based architects Taylor Smyth to create an office that would extend their brand, there was a real purpose to the redesign. “We wanted to portray the next chapter in HudBay’s development, moving away from the turmoil in the company over the last while, and a space that would define our strategic direction,” says David Garofalo, president and CEO of HudBay.
