ARCHITECTURAL FOCUS
By reversing the usual trends of urban development and thoughtfully utilizing the territory, this project maximizes its density thanks to a combination of integrated buildings.
The objective was to design an authentic Transit- Oriented Development by integrating a wide variety of functions and maximizing access to public transit, all while easing circulation between the complex’ s different spaces. This approach enriches the residents’ and visitors’ experience and offers a mode of development that is respectful of the environment.
“ For a project of this scale, the key to adopt a sustainable approach and minimize the impact on the land resided in the concentration of actions on a limited plot by strategically increasing the density,” explained Jean Pelland, Associate Architect, Sid Lee Architecture.
By reversing the usual trends of urban development and thoughtfully utilizing the territory, this project maximizes its density thanks to a combination of integrated buildings. It welcomes a concentration of occupants that would normally have necessitated a space four to five times greater.
