DESCRIPTION
Landscape project linked to the renovation of the foundations and envelope of the heritage building. The redevelopment of the building's perimeter, including vehicular and pedestrian access, as well as the two semi-interior courtyards, is designed to enhance the building's emblematic location and exceptional built environment. The twin courtyards are laid out in two variants of a paved pattern inspired by paper birch, featuring rectangular rain gardens planted with specimens of Quebec's plant heritage, bordered by long wooden benches. The east courtyard is designed for hybrid use by day camp children and employees, while the west courtyard, close to the restaurant, offers a second terrace with space for 8 removable tables.
