ARCHITECTURAL FOCUS

The project is the result of multidisciplinary work coordinated by the architect involving engineers , landscape architects , interior designers , industrial designers , scenography consultants , and lighting designers to produce a public space enriched by this collaborative process .
The very high attendance of the Esplanade Tranquille during the pandemic , despite the unsettled weather conditions , illustrates the need to adapt the center of our cities to the new expectations of citizens . Once known for its bars and other infamous establishments , the Red Light sector is being reborn by now offering a safe , pleasant , and inclusive living environment . The Esplanade Tranquille makes use of the experience accumulated over the years since the development of the International District , and then the Quartier des Spectacles . At the heart of this transformation is the implementation of a strategy that consists of developing quality public spaces that cause , by ripple effect , a real estate revitalization on its outskirts .
Passive urban planning that is content to regulate the density and the choice of coatings is not enough to build a city . We are pleased to have been able to contribute to the implementation of a more generous and transformative vision , proving more necessary than ever to face the challenges posed by the weakening of the tertiary sector ecosystem .
