Sid Lee Architecture’s office blends drama, minimalism and biophilic design
, meeting rooms and gathering areas for staff, all coming together around a grid structure system that helps unite different spaces seamlessly. ‘We envisioned the space as an extension of the city and its energy,‘ said Jean Pelland, architect and principal partner at Sid Lee Architecture. ‘By anchoring the architectural elements in human interaction, the campus becomes a platform that is active at all times of day, a place where artisans can gather, collaborate and create.
Blending minimalism and biophilic design, the office interior features strategically placed new natural light sources; open-air circulation in the shape of bridges and balconies that encourage visual connections and a sense of place; and planting throughout. At the same time, there’s spatial drama aplenty, befitting the grandeur of the former bank building.
‘With the Biosquare, Sid Lee is bringing its entrepreneurial spirit to downtown Montreal and creating an accessible collaborative hub for the city’s creative and business communities, with the aim of helping novel ideas emerge,’ said Sid Lee co-founder Philippe Meunier. §
