ARCHITECTURAL FOCUS
At the center of the complex, a vast 60,000-squarefoot courtyard of radiating shades of green offers a unique experience, inviting the community to gather and enjoy a peaceful moment in an urban environment. Additionally, the terrace on the roof creates areas for relaxing and socializing away from the busy streets below.
Despite the sheer size of the complex, strategically laid out diagonal openings create an easy flow from one end of the structure to the other. Additionally, four large portals welcome visitors and facilitate fluid movements between the different sectors of the project. Individuals can freely circulate through the complex’ s residential and commercial spaces as its loop reaches completion through its tunnelled access to the Montmorency metro station.
