Harmony and conviviality

Villa Chicoutimi

 
Chicoutimi - 2006
110 900 sq.ft.

Creating total harmony – between the existing and new buildings, and in the calm, peaceful look and feel of both the interior and exterior environments.

Challenges

Redesign the existing building; plan and develop the expansion; unify the visual style and ambiance of the complex as a whole; create an atmosphere that complements the culture and environment of the community and its retirees.

Solution

A retirement residence that expands? A2 has many years of experience with such projects, ranging from relatively minor upgrades to full-scale expansions. For this complex, A2 brought together its internal capabilities in architecture, design and project coordination to deliver a fully integrated “single-source” design solution.

Results

The design of the complex reflects the image of the community – welcoming, homey and extremely convivial – and delivers sustained 100% occupancy.

In collaboration with Beaudet Faille Normand Architectes.
