Promenade Samuel-De Champlain by Daoust Lestage

The project location into the Promenade makes it an important entry to the site and revives the imaginary of a river pier and of its intrinsic structures, turning it into a local visual anchor and light beacon – a significant newcomer to the constellation of industrial relics dominating local landscape silhouette and vistas.

The award-winning design includes: bike and pedestrian paths, seating, decks, artwork, four contemporary gardens and sporting fields.  The new planting interweaves between paving and has a rhythmic layout, breaking down the length and making a sequence of seating/play/paths.  With a bold backdrop of autumn foliage, the new planting complemented its context even through the fog.
