The Concorde | Laval
The Concorde project is located in the Pont-Viau neighborhood in Laval, on vacant land accessible from Concorde boulevard and Patenaude street.
The play of volumes and materials on the facades illustrates the articulation of the residential units on each floor. The various typologies of these units enable projections and recesses giving the opportunity for animated facades compositions. The underground parking preserves the green area to plan trees all around the built-up area.
The zoning allows up to four floors; however it was possible to add mezzanines on the fifth floor, with outdoor areas on the rooftop with a panoramic view of the surroundings. Each of the four mezzanines opens onto a private terrace forming a square in the center of the roof. This configuration offers an environmental and social dimension through urban farming activities. The green roof brings a different perception of nature above and crowns the top of the building to celebrate values that are conducive to living together.
