REM- Station du Quartier
Brossard, Canada
In consortium with Bisson Fortin and Perkins&Will
The interior design of public transit environments can often be cold and harsh, but durability and maintenance requirements can be met without compromising the customer experience.
The Réseau Express Métropolitain (REM) stations across Montreal balance unique community identities with a cohesive system-wide design. The project emphasizes a warm, welcoming passenger experience through wood structures and finishes, complemented by station-specific colors and patterns.
Du Quartier station, part of REM's first phase on Montreal's south shore, is strategically located within a highway median. Connected to an existing overpass, it serves as an urban catalyst linking Quartier Dix30 and a major transit-oriented development through an integrated footbridge spanning the highway.
The station's architectural identity celebrates movement and transparency while honoring the area's rural heritage. Its entrance features a luminous canopy creating a distinctive urban marker, while yellow chevron ceramics, reminiscent of wheat fields, root the station in its context and contribute to REM's visual narrative.
Universal accessibility and user experience drive the design, prioritizing intuitive navigation with strategic signage placement. Screen-printed and fritted glass façades provide environmental performance and avian safety while maintaining views and reducing energy costs.
The design showcases local expertise through exposed CLT wood roof slabs, bringing warmth while demonstrating sustainable craftsmanship. Wall panels are selected for durability, featuring impact and graffiti resistance, easy maintenance, and modularity. Combined with color accents and patterns, they reinforce the concept of movement.
This approach transforms a complex site challenge into a meaningful civic space that connects communities and establishes a new urban center in a rapidly evolving area.
