Locaux Emerson-Verdant
Ville Saint-Laurent
2022
Housed in an industrial building built by the aircraft manufacturer Bombardier in the 1980s, Emerson-Verdant's new premises take advantage of this atypical space to create a unique workplace.
For environmental and budgetary reasons, we wanted to make the most of the existing elements. To keep the industrial identity of the place, apparent mechanics, underlined structure, stripping and repolishing of the existing concrete slab and to intervene in a measured way by using natural materials like wood and felt. With a final budget, including furniture, of $50/sq.ft., this project illustrates the possibilities of a conscientious and careful architecture.
The removal of the existing suspended ceilings and the updating of the double-height space directed the project towards a work of spatial composition within this vast volume now revealed. A dynamic path is created through spaces of changing proportions.
