Situated at the foot of Mount Royal, the Oratoire Saint-Joseph welcomes over two million visitors each year. The redesign aims to enhance this spiritual experience by introducing a new welcome pavilion and a bell tower housing a restored 61-bell carillon, creating an architectural identity that is contemporary yet respectful of the site's cultural, natural, and spiritual significance.
The design features a fully accessible pedestrian plaza and an illuminated discovery path, offering visitors a meditative ascent in harmony with the topography of Mount Royal. Alongside the bell tower, a public esplanade and sacred garden unfold, forming terraces, squares, and green roofs. The gabion facades, made from stones extracted from the site, emphasize sustainability and material reuse.
Inside, the use of wood and natural light creates a warm, serene atmosphere inspired by the surrounding landscapes. This project transforms the Oratoire into a majestic and welcoming space, reinforcing its role as an urban sanctuary and spiritual destination.
