studio CM

studio CM is a commercial design firm based in Gastown, Vancouver, with a focus on hospitality and retail work as well as custom furniture and lighting design. Founded in June of 2013, Andrea Greenway laid the foundation for the firm under its original name of Andrea Greenway Interior Design. As a driven designer and entrepreneur, the demand for her work quickly outgrew the studios capacity. In partnership with Ella Kane, they now lead the team as joint Principals and Creative Directors. We have an innate interest in tailor-made design and a collaborative approach to working with local businesses. Grounded in functionality, our site specific solutions and ambitious details are the touch points in every project. All members of the studio are avid observers who draw inspiration from a wide range of sources. No image or object is too obscure to become the catalyst for our projects. Andrea Greenway has been working in commercial design for eleven years. Having begun her career at Musson Cattell Mackey, she refined her skills working under her mentor Diane Shrubb. She opened her studio in 2013. She holds a diploma in Interior Design and has been approved to write her NCIDQ exam to receive R.I.D. status. She is a member of the Interior Designer Institute of Canada and IDIBC, as well as a LEED accredited professional. Ella Kane received her Master’s in Interior Design from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY. She then went on to join Yabu Pushelberg’s New York Office where she was immersed in high end hospitality design on a global level. After relocating to Vancouver, she worked with Ste. Marie, one of the city’s leading hospitality firms. She joined Andrea Greenway in the spring of 2016. Our work has been featured in publications in Canada and the US, and we were thrilled to be a finalist in the Western Living Designer of the Year 2016, and equally excited to take home the Gray Magazine award for Best Commercial Interiors 2017. Our projects are as varied as our clients, and we are always looking forward to working with like-minded, design driven individuals who share a passion for curiosity, details, taking risks and pushing further
