Jodoin Lamarre Pratte architectes is a leader in architectural design, redevelopment and the construction of diverse, specialized and technically complex institutional buildings, in particular in the fields of health care, education, research, culture, transportation and housing. Recipient of more than 60 awards of excellence in architecture, the firm has demonstrated over and over again its capacity to conceive and carry out projects of high architectural merit.
In consortium, the firm recently earned Canadian Architect’s Awards of Excellence for two ongoing projects: the new performance hall in Saint-Jérôme (2014–2016) and the Fifth Pavilion of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (2013¬–2017). JLP also received the Ordre des architectes du Québec’s Prix d’excellence en architecture in the category of institutional buildings for the Bibliothèque Raymond-Levesque (2013). Over the past few years, five of the firm’s consortium projects were the result of public architectural competitions: the Richard J. Renaud Science Pavilion at Concordia University’s Loyola Campus, the Cité des arts du cirque’s TOHU Pavilion, the Bibliothèque municipale de Châteauguay, the Théâtre du Vieux-Terrebonne and the Bibliothèque Raymond-Lévesque. The last three projects received the Governor General’s Medals in Architecture, in 2006 and 2014.
Created in 1958 by Bernard Jodoin, Denis Lamarre and Gérard Pratte, Jodoin Lamarre Pratte architectes has since evolved into a team of more than 80 architects, technicians, designers and other professionals working under the leadership of Michel Bourassa, Michel Broz, Jean Martin, Sylvain Morrier and Niolas Ranger.
Constantly evolving, the firm carries on its pursuit of high-level architecture that respects its environment and that combines creativity, sustainable development, simplicity, refinement, innovation and technology. JLP’s architectural approach, with its emphasis on quality, rigour, collaboration and efficiency, is above all realist and takes into consideration the many factors, whether economic, functional, technical or contextual, that influence the development of a project.
