    • Ware Malcomb has completed UCAN Fastening Products’ new headquarters at 1000 Markland Street in Markham, Ontario. Ware Malcomb’s Vaughan office provided interior architecture and design, furniture selection and procurement services for the 15,000 SF office fit-out within the new build-to-suit industrial facility (by Others).

    UCAN, a third-generation, family-owned Canadian company, supplies masonry and metal fastening systems to distributors across Canada and the U.S. “Our design approach focused on creating a workspace that is warm, inviting, and highly functional, reflecting UCAN’s strong culture and practical ethos,” said Christina Kolkas, Principal, Ware Malcomb. “The space emphasizes simplicity and connectivity, with a central café serving as the heart of the office.”

    Spanning three floors, UCAN’s new headquarters features private offices, training room with testing area, open work areas and meeting spaces, all unified by a neutral palette, warm wood accents, plush patterned carpets and understated finishes that convey a sense of calm and professionalism. The design prioritizes practicality and efficiency, while incorporating warm tones and natural textures to create an inviting atmosphere.

    The third-floor café is the focal point of the design; a generous, light-filled space that encourages gathering, collaboration, and informal interaction. This hub reinforces UCAN’s commitment to fostering community and connectivity among its team members.

    Natural light permeates the interiors, enhancing openness and employee well-being. Clean lines, simple detailing, and functional layouts ensure flexibility for future growth, while select branded elements provide subtle visual identity without overwhelming the space.
