The Waskaganish Community Miyupimaatisiiun Centre was designed for the Cree Board of Health and Social Services of James Bay, with the goal of providing healthcare services and promoting wellness within the Cree community in a space that is both comfortable and safe for all users.
The main entrance was positioned to the east in keeping with the ciiwetinsuu tradition. The welcome volume rises to a double height and reinterprets the traditional Shaputuan dwelling through an angled massing and a rounded entry plan, creating a symbolic landmark within the village. The exterior materiality, with columns evoking tree trunks and white cladding that blends into the northern landscape, roots the building in its environment.
The design process was built on an integrated approach rooted in deep respect for Cree values. Ongoing exchanges of discussions, drawings, and photographs between the Cree Council and the design team forged a strong bond that became the cornerstone of every design decision. Inside, the theme of the four seasons, central to Cree culture, is woven throughout the interiors and will be further enriched through interventions by local artists. Work PODs organized by zone, youth, family, and elders, place the patient at the center of a synergy of healthcare professionals.
Our goal was to create a building that speaks the language of its community, where architecture becomes an act of cultural recognition and care. The project was developed in collaboration with Régis and ATSH.
