Innovative urbanization
Lemay’s redevelopment of three blocks of industrial heritage for residential purposes revitalized a neighbourhood close to Montreal’s downtown with a new population and exceptional, affordable living spaces. The original windows and high ceilings allow for natural light that penetrates deep into the compact dwellings for a remarkable quality of life.
The concept is innovative on several fronts: reinventing and greening a complex for a demanding clientele; following the latest in design; giving roofs and stunning views back to the residents, compensating for modestly sized, functional units; and fusing private life and collectivity to seduce contemporary urban-dwellers.
