DESCRIPTION
Design of a new public square showcasing "in situ" management and treatment of rainwater, to become one of the first Water Squares in the city. The square gives the site the importance it deserves by highlighting its history and making it an environmental gem illuminating the heart of the Plateau-Mont-Royal borough. It brings the song “Fleurs de macadam” to life by piercing the asphalt to make way for lush vegetation, creating an urban oasis. The design marks the transition to the new generation by converting the gas station into a green station.
