PwC Canada wins prestigious 2025 ARIDO award for Toronto headquarter transformation

TORONTO, Oct. 22, 2025 /CNW/ - PwC Canada is proud to announce that its Toronto headquarters at 18 York has been recognized with the prestigious 2025 ARIDO Award in the Work category (20,000–50,000 sq ft), presented by the Association of Registered Interior Designers of Ontario (ARIDO).

This award celebrates outstanding interior design excellence and recognizes projects that push boundaries in innovation, inclusivity, and sustainability. The 46,715 sq ft space was designed in partnership with global AEC firm M Moser Associates. The project features barrier-free, universally welcoming spaces aligned with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) including acoustic comfort, biophilic elements, and seamless technology to support diverse workstyles.

"We're proud to see our commitment to collaboration and sustainability recognized and celebrated by ARIDO," said Miyoshi Irizawa, Managing Director at PwC Canada. "Our vision was to create a flagship workplace that embodies flexibility, inclusivity, and well-being in the post-pandemic era. This recognition affirms 18 York as a national model for innovative workplace design—where people, performance, and purpose connect seamlessly."  

Sustainability also played a central role in the project, from repurposing existing materials to choosing low-impact finishes and energy-efficient systems across the redesigned workspaces.

"In working with PwC Canada, our goal was to deliver a human-centred, scalable design that adapts to regional and user-specific needs while embodying the essence of the PwC brand," said Jaymie Cooper, Associate Director - Design at M Moser Associates. "The new Toronto headquarters delivers flexibility, inclusivity, and performance, anchored by PwC's global brand and supported by our integrated design and strategy expertise. We're thrilled to see this project recognized as a benchmark for future workplaces in Canada."  

This project not only transforms a space—it redefines the experience of work at PwC Toronto and beyond. The workspace is now a model for future PwC offices across Canada, balancing consistency with regional character.
