The project consisted in transforming the Notre-Dame-de-Fatima church into a cultural presentation center for the City of Boisbriand, to welcome the Petit Théâtre du Nord team. The objective is to offer to the citizens a versatile and polyvalent space, offering 4 different room configurations.
The new exploration centre of the Parc de la Rivière-des-Milles-Îles in Laval offers a space for the interpretation of surrounding ecosystems as well as annual educational activities. The major intervention is the demolition of the old pavilion and the construction of a new center at least twice as big.
The Planetarium and the Jardin de Sciences reception area are located in the heart of a historic garden, situated between the zoology and mineralogy institutes. The project seeks to establish a link between both parts of the campus, as well as give increased visibility to the Jardin de Sciences.
The Saint-Léonard district wishes to have a new exterior stage to accommodate a large variety of cultural events as well as offer a protected space for community activities to be held. This new cultural equipment must be adapted to all seasons, and allow winter festivities.
Inspired by Laurentian architecture, Cardin Julien proposes a new wood-frame building that is bright and open to its exterior environment. Taking advantage of the natural topography of the site, the firm proposes a fluid layout of the city hall by using the existing ground levels to reduce the amount of building materials while maximizing the insulation through the floor.
The project starts following the architectural competition won by the firm in partnership with ARCANE. The project’s concept is based on the traces of the past found on the Grand Moulins de Villancourt patrimonial site. In order to satisfy the new building requirements, il was impossible to keep the existing building but it was very important to pay it a tribute by recreating its silhouette.
