In the heart of downtown Victoria, British Columbia, the TELUS Ocean development stands as a striking example of modern architecture, innovation, and forward-thinking commercial design. Located at 749 Douglas Street, this landmark project brings together architectural excellence and advanced building technologies to create a dynamic environment designed for the future.
At Modular Interiors by Cook’s, we are proud to contribute to this remarkable development through the supply and installation of high-performance raised access flooring systems. Working alongside EllisDon Corporation, our team has been entrusted with delivering flooring solutions that support the building's technical requirements while prioritizing flexibility, efficiency, and long-term performance.
A Foundation Designed for Performance
Behind every innovative building is an infrastructure designed to support its evolving needs. At TELUS Ocean, raised access flooring plays an essential role in creating adaptable commercial spaces while accommodating the building's underfloor systems.
Our scope of work includes the procurement, supply, and installation of raised access flooring systems, incorporating specialized products from ASP Access Floors.
Rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach, the project incorporates flooring solutions selected to meet the unique requirements of different areas throughout the building.
Key Flooring Systems & Features
ICON Airtight System: Designed to deliver exceptional air tightness and underfloor plenum integrity, supporting the building's underfloor air distribution requirements. The system is engineered to maintain its air leakage performance without relying on floor finishes or additional taping.
Urban Interlock System: A specialized flooring solution designed to accommodate stone and ceramic tile finishes directly on the panels, eliminating the need for additional substrates or lowering the raised floor in applicable areas.
Underfloor Accessibility: The raised access flooring design provides a flexible foundation that accommodates essential building infrastructure while allowing for future maintenance and modifications.
Precision Engineering: Detailed shop drawings, 3D modelling, and coordination with other trades help ensure the flooring systems integrate with the building's complex mechanical and architectural requirements.
Structural Performance: The flooring systems are designed to meet applicable building codes and seismic requirements, providing a durable foundation for commercial environments.
Together, these systems demonstrate how thoughtfully engineered flooring can contribute to both the functionality and adaptability of a modern commercial development.
Supporting Sustainability Through Smarter Design
Sustainability is an important consideration in modern commercial construction, and TELUS Ocean provides an opportunity to demonstrate how flooring systems can support environmentally responsible building practices.
The ASP Access Floors products specified for the project are supported by environmental documentation, including Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and information relevant to LEED and WELL building standards.
By incorporating durable, adaptable raised access flooring systems, the project supports an approach to construction that considers long-term building performance, accessibility, and the ability to accommodate future changes.
The ICON Airtight system also contributes to efficient underfloor air distribution by emphasizing plenum integrity and reducing unwanted air leakage.
At Modular Interiors by Cook’s, we believe that sustainability and performance should work together, creating commercial environments that are both practical and prepared for the future.
Precision Installation on a Landmark Project
Delivering raised access flooring on a project of this scale requires careful planning, technical expertise, and coordination.
Our team's responsibilities extend beyond installation, incorporating pre-construction design assistance, detailed flooring layouts, engineering coordination, and collaboration with other trades.
With multiple floor levels and varying architectural requirements, every component must be carefully considered to ensure the flooring integrates seamlessly with the overall building design.
Our approach emphasizes precision, efficiency, and quality at every stage, helping establish a reliable foundation for the spaces above.
Building for the Future
TELUS Ocean represents the kind of forward-thinking development that continues to shape the future of commercial architecture in Canada.
For Modular Interiors by Cook’s, our involvement reflects our commitment to delivering innovative raised access flooring solutions that combine technical performance, adaptability, and thoughtful design.
From airtight flooring systems to specialized architectural applications, our work at TELUS Ocean demonstrates that what lies beneath a building's finished floor can be just as important as what stands above it.
At Modular Interiors by Cook’s, we're proud to help build the foundation for what's next.
