Base de Plein Air

Construction of the new reception pavilion at the Sainte-Foy outdoor recreation center.

The City of Quebec’s program for this new pavilion comprises four buildings, housing administrative, public, sanitary and storage functions. The aim of the project is to enhance this natural site in the heart of urban life and give it a strong identity.

This single-storey division also makes it easier to control access to the building for each type of use, both for the public and for the pavilion’s employees. By recessing the facades, gaps are created between the buildings, allowing the creation of viable, protected outdoor spaces.

Open to the general public, it was essential that the pavilion’s materials be durable and easy to maintain, in order to extend its useful life and minimize operating costs.

Finally, we worked closely with our engineers to design a highly energy-efficient building.
