This mandate constitutes a harmonious collaboration between Autodesk and Provencher_Roy, in the form of an incredible transformation, rehabilitation, and repurposing of an old building into a modern contemporary concept perfectly attuned to the company it houses, designer of cutting-edge digital tools.
Formerly a marine boiler repair plant built in 1857, this revamped office space consisting of 4 floors and a basement level is located on the western extremity of Old Montréal, on the banks of the Lachine Canal. The opening of the Canal in 1825 played a central role in the industrial development of Montréal, and even Canada. Having since closed to commercial navigation and been replaced in 1970 by the Saint Lawrence Seaway, the surrounding neighbourhood has also been transformed into a more and more mixed zone. The industrial-style building with a massive base is characterized by greystone siding and punctuated with a restricted number of windows.
The Phase 1 project dates back to 2018 with the redesign and renovation of the entrance hall and welcoming area, transformed into various ultra-modern hubs, each with a particular aura created through a refined choice of colours, textures, materials, and furniture. This Phase 2 project consisted of revamping 44,000 ft² of office spaces to fulfill new collaborative work models favouring immersive activities and remote work. Mainly organized in an open layout with some closed spaces, the building is also comprised of a large number of meeting rooms). It was crucial that the new renovations be aligned with those already carried out in the entrance hall.
The revamping and new furniture enables users to pivot their stations 90 degrees on one side or the other, offering them greater flexibility and freedom in their work organization. Electrical services and digital data are housed in a vertical technical column enabling users to select the orientation of their stations. The addition of collaborative spaces, even within main circulation areas, presented an interesting solution for the client, who prioritizes transparency in the creative process. Such spaces have created opportunities for creative “collisions”.
The different creation and collaboration hubs were enhanced with many sofas and streamlined coloured lounge chairs. This furniture contrasts with the building’s architectural language, featuring aluminum air ventilation, and visible metal beams and red-stone walls.
The context of this building is completely different from that of a traditional office tower in which the slab stone to ceiling heights are similar. In this case, the heights beneath the ceiling vary from one space to another.
In spaces with little height beneath the ceiling, it was imperative to involve lighting consultants to measure the adequate photometry required to prevent blinding and create tailor-made lighting with less powerful luminaires. Conversely, in more vast spaces, the objective was to enlarge light diffusion in order to best reproduce natural lighting.
The concept of biophilia is also very present in this project, working in perfect harmony with the notions of creation and well-being that are so dear to the mandate. In addition to bringing a splash of colour into a relatively neutral environment, the various “islands” of vegetation, including a large plant wall, offer workspaces that are especially warm and inviting.
