igital agency veterans John Ounpuu, Nathan Paziuk and Randy Siu
formed Vancouver-based Modern Craft in 2014 to help other €rms' mar-
keting departments navigate a new world of changing technolo„y. The
15-member team recently moved from Gastown to the 17th Šoor of a '60s oŒce
tower overlooking Coal Harbour. Asked for lighthearted luxury, Vancouver's
MāK•Interiors designed the 3,000-square-foot space to suggest the creativity of an
agency but also to be businesslike so "an executive can come in here and be more
comfortable and not feel like they're at casual Fridays all the time," Ounpuu says.
