Case Study.
Westland Insurance
Westland Insurance, Canada’s largest independently owned brokerage, was ready for a brand evolution. Following a period of rapid growth, the company made the strategic decision to consolidate three offices into a single, centralized head office. With a refreshed identity and an expanding presence, Westland needed a space that would embody its inclusive culture and position as a leading insurance provider. Partnering with Aura, Westland developed a workplace strategy that directly informed the design of their new space. The result is a thoughtful, brand-aligned environment that reflects who they are today and where they’re headed. By shaping the space around the needs of their people and their business, the new head office empowers teams to connect, collaborate, and thrive.
