La Tannerie

This project brings together two distinct components, affordable condos satisfying the Accès-Condos program, and a social housing component. The layout of the building has been designed to meet the characteristics of the site. By the presence of a continuous front on Saint-Jacques and De Courcelle streets, the project ensures continuity of the urban fabric by defining the intersection and while allowing to frame a pleasant living environment, the park at the back.

The project integrates certain elements evoking the memory of the place resulting in 3 different aspects: Commemoration of the place of the birth of the district, the integration of interpretive plaques of the history of the place, and the evocative name of the history given to the project . The development of a semi-private area and a private area between the sidewalk and the accommodation, both on the side of the courtyard and on the street front, access to the courtyard through a porte-cochere at the junction of the two buildings, double-height and through halls as well as through housing on the ground floor, are all elements that make the strength and integration of this project.
