Testimonials

Maria Mariano

Biochemist, designer and
co‑founder of Récréation Atelier

“ORB is a space that has allowed me to develop my thoughts and ideas and better analyze my research. It's also a place where planning, editing, and management work comes more easily! The industrial and open space of the building exudes an almost romantic atmosphere that encourages exploration. In a way, ORB is a playground.”

“I saw ORB pass by on my social media, and it wasn't far from my place, so I said 'Cool, the space is really beautiful and it makes you want to shoot there. Sometimes I would be a the space just for to hang-out, even if I didn't necessarily have anything particular to do. I was at ORB when I was preparing a shoot for Air Canada enRoute in Morocco so I was doing quite a bit of research and contact making. I also shot at ORB the visuals for my friend Ariane Zita's album, all the artwork and press photos for her latest release, portraits and some still life.”
