Laurent & Clark Breaks Ground in Montréal, Canada by Menkès Shooner Dagenais LeTourneux ArchitectesJune 9th, 2017 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: v2com Menkès Shooner Dagenais LeTourneux Architects, along with the developer, Rachel Julien, officially kicked off the start of construction of Phase 1 of the Laurent & Clark residential condo project.
Located in the Quartier des Spectacles (entertainment district), the first phase of this major real estate development, whose completion is planned for 2019, will house 159 condominiums distributed over 21 floors. Conceived by Jean-Pierre LeTourneux, architect and partner with Menkès Shooner Dagenais LeTourneux Architects, the towers present a remarkable visual and material integration and constitute a high-quality architectural achievement which will honour the neighborhood’s vocation. Inspired by the neighbourhood’s bubbling energy and cosmopolitan atmosphere, a textured treatment enhances the Clark façade, showcasing geometric modulations that use colourful, luminous, and crystalline materials. Unique to Montreal, the through-building units offer views towards two horizons, east and west. On the courtyard side, one contemplates the private garden and relaxation areas. Looking towards the City, Mont Royal and the downtown core provide the backdrop to splendid views. Menkès Shooner Dagenais LeTourneux Architectes works at the crossroads of architecture, design, urban and real estate development. Over the years, they have redefined major cultural spaces, and brought remarkable projects to life. Today, the Laurent & Clark joins the list of their other downtown Montreal accomplishments: the Espace culturel Georges-Émile Lapalme at Place des Arts, the Grande Bibliothèque, the Centre for Sustainable Development, the Louis Bohème, the Yul, and the future Maison Manuvie. As city hubs, the firm’s projects distinguish themselves through architecture that becomes part of the public realm and timeless living spaces. Categories: Building, Hotel, House, Residential |
