Rest Area located at exit 228 of Highway 20 in Quebec :
The project involved the demolition of an existing building, as well as the construction and development of a permanent rest area providing parking for cars, buses, heavy vehicles, and recreational vehicles. The space also includes electric and gasoline refueling stations, dining services, and facilities for children's play and outdoor relaxation activities.
The concept reflects a symbiosis between a welcoming atmosphere and functional efficiency, creating a bright and comfortable oasis with a positive impact on the well-being of visitors. The spatial layout was conceived with simplicity and ingenuity, enabling smooth and safe circulation as well as easy access to various services. The clean design combines geometric shapes and simple lines, achieving a seamless integration into the surrounding landscapes. The project has been designed from its inception to support the principles of a bright, sensitive, and sustainable architecture that the firm promotes. Several distinctive elements uphold these principles:
The recovery of wooden beams from the building that was formerly on the same site (the restaurant Le Pignon Rouge) and their integration into the structure of the dining area. Since the restaurant was an iconic landmark in the landscape, these elements were incorporated into the new structure to establish a connection with the past and preserve the essence of the place. Moreover, this reuse of materials represents essential environmental consciousness for proper and responsible use of resources.
The installation of electric vehicle charging stations, demonstrating a commitment to supporting more sustainable and environmentally friendly mobility through architecture.
The incorporation of a significant excerpt from the book "Les yeux tristes de mon camion" by anthropologist Serge Bouchard on a large steel panel at the entrance of the rest area, creating a welcoming environment for road users and paying tribute to the perseverance and determination of truck drivers.
