The ARTlab program consists of large spaces for the School of Art to complement the small studio spaces within the adjacent Taché Hall, a repurposed 1911 student residence. The volume of the ARTlab interlocks with Taché Hall, which reinforces the two buildings as an integrated arts facility and maximizes north daylight in the studio spaces. Facilitating a critical urban connection to the business school to the south, the north wing of the ARTlab is raised one storey above grade.

The new head office of Caisse Desjardins de Lévis is located at the heart of the birthplace of the Desjardins credit union movement. Along the east-west axis, a zinc-clad urban façade provides verticality and movement. The main façade on Boulevard Alphonse-Desjardins brings us back to the human scale, with access to Old Lévis. The façade facing the park opens out onto the site’s majestic trees, and features suspended wooden cubes that house areas for members.

The aquatic hall has sliding glass doors for access to the park-side terrace and natural ventilation opportunities.

Viljo Revell’s Toronto City Hall (1965) is a well-loved Modernist icon. In 2007, the City of Toronto launched an international redesign competition for its 12-acre civic space, Nathan Phillips Square, which had become run-down and dysfunctional over time. Targeting LEED Gold, the winning design involved strategically rethinking the heritage-designated square to transform it into an exemplary 21st-century public space.

The Glacier Skywalk is a private initiative in a public park.  The project weaves a continuous thread that empowers guests to encounter the untouched environment. The Skywalk Vista subtly, yet heroically, cantilevers 35 metres from the mountainside, allowing visitors to experience the grandeur of the gorge 280 metres below.  An efficient material palate for the off-grid structure consists of Corten steel, glass, wood and stone that collectively contribute to a seamless relationship between natural and manmade.
