du@zu wrap-up

Since we’ve moved in to our new home five months ago, a number of people have asked us what we plan to do with the open first floor. The answer to date has been “give us an idea.” Currently, zu occupies the top two floors of our warehouse building at 303 Pacific Ave in Saskatoon.  The location is prime and its natural architecture has many groups inquiring about its availability. Just recently, we experimented with our first event when the Design Council of Saskatchewan hosted its Premier’s Awards of Excellence in Design.

The evening was a less formal occasion than their previous galas. Architects, engineers, interior designers and graphic designers were treated to the theme “The Evolution of Play”. The room was filled with some great mood lighting and funky house beats. For food and beverages, the du provided a tasty bento box and cappuccino and gelato bar, combined with a full wine and spirits selection. Whether you were standing or sitting, you weren’t far from Lego blocks, play dough, the graffiti wall, or the cotton candy machine.

Big thanks to the Design Council for including us on this party. Hope we can ‘du;’ it again. Check out some photos of the night.
