Hickson Residence in Saint-Lambert, Canada by MRDK

Monday, February 6th, 2023

Article source: MRDK

When a young family of 3 found out they were soon going to be 4, they decided that it was time to look for a bigger home. They fell in love with the charm of a house on Montreal’s south shore designed by the architect Frank McGrath in 1981 but after 40 years of wear and tear, it was in need of a major renovation. They approached MRDK whose sensibility to detail and nostalgia would be a good fit for their renovation.

Gravel² Law Firm in Saint-Lambert, Canada by Luc Plante Architecture + Design

Friday, October 25th, 2019

Article source: v2com

Gravel² is a boutique firm offering legal and strategic advice in the field of labour relations. Composed of specialized attorneys, the firm wanted its offices to reflect the expertise and excellence of its team while expressing its ability to navigate outside the traditional framework of legal services.

The starting point of the Gravel² project was to redevelop a completely bare floor in a commercial building with a visible skeleton. We gave free rein to our imagination in order to instil our vision in accordance with the client’s needs.

This new law firm wanted to create a space focused on its core values such as integrity, rigour, excellence and openness. These values are reflected in the space via pure lines, attention to detail, sober and elegant materials, colours and the use of transparency. This working environment is intended to be unifying, friendly, warm, airy, bright and, above all, accessible and respectful of its occupant’s well-being.

Parking Garage Cliniques Universitaires Saint-Luc in Belgium by MODULO architects

Tuesday, April 10th, 2018

Article source: MODULO architects

MODULO architects (BE) and de Jong Gortemaker Algra Architects (NL), together with engineering firm ELLYPS (BE), designed a staff parking garage with a capacity of 985 cars for Cliniques Universitaires Saint-Luc in Brussels. This resulted in a fluent structure integrated with the site.

Parking garages are often labeled as mere functional industrial buildings rather than being referred to as inspiring architecture. Yet the parking garage is often the first place of contact with, in this case, the hospital and should therefore serve as a warm welcome for the visitors. This parking project at Saint-Luc is made into a positive first encounter, by selecting natural materials, providing abundant daylight and emphasizing contextual connection.
