Architect Lemay and lighting specialist LumiGroup join hands to renovate
the Montréal office of a global investment services company.
ERECTED IN the late 1980s by architects
Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF), 1250 RenéLévesque West is a well-known commercial
building in Montreal, Canada. The huge
curved facade, undisputable testimony of
the postmodernist architecture, faces east
and offers a stunning view of the city’s urban
landscape.
The diversified global investment services
company, Pavilion Financial Corporation,
with offices throughout North America,
has the privilege of having an office on the
40th floor of this iconic building, enjoying
a breathtaking panoramic view. Architect
Lemay won the mandate for the significant
renovation of the reception area and
conference rooms, and LumiGroup supported
the design team in lighting the space.
The mandate: a timeless universal style
to cater to an international clientele who
regularly visit the offices of Pavilion. Lemay
designed a clever effect of contrasts between
light and darkness, openness and privacy,
brightness and simplicity. The minimalist
lighting of this project through various
applications successfully strengthened,
with astonishing visual discretion, these
architectural concepts.
