As part of Gossamer Threads’ ongoing commitment to sustainability, we’ve partnered with our landlord DeeCorp and fellow tenant TBWA\ to create a green roof on the building of our new office.
At the time, there was not much happening up on that flat tar & gravel expanse, but that was all to change soon enough!

Now it’s even easier for Gossamer Threadians to stream jubilantly to work each morning, with the opening of the much anticipated extension to Vancouver’s beloved light-rail system, the Skytrain. Per our request, the new line terminates literally a stone’s throw from our front door.

We’ve had plenty of new faces join the Gossamer ranks in the past year, so we thought it was high time to do another one of our employee profiles!
Early speculation that Orlando was taller than yours truly turned out to be nothing but slander on the part of the office’s usual gossipers (*coughTarrincough*), but either way, there are now at least two gangly dudes in the office who love heavy metal.
At the end of January, Gossamer Threads packed up its longtime offices in the historic Sun Tower and moved smack into the middle of downtown Vancouver. We’ve settled into our new digs quite comfortably, aided in part by some slick interior design. Read on to take a photo tour of the new Gossamer Threads!
Hopefully your holiday season was as memorable as ours. GT recently celebrated another successful year of code and coffee with its annual Christmas party and white elephant gift exchange….
