The Brief

Enduro converted a fourth-floor office-and-lab space on West 7th in Vancouver into a modern workplace for biotech firm Abdera Therapeutics. The tenant improvement paired a refreshed office environment — kitchenette, large meeting room and private booths — with the mechanical, electrical and plumbing upgrades that converting a former lab floor demands, delivered as general contractor under Chernoff Thompson Architects.
