SOPREMA: A TRUSTED PARTNER
Three stories above asphalt roads and traffic, the MEC employees walk out onto a beautiful rooftop patio and are surrounded by a natural green garden. They can then take a refreshing break away from the busy store environment. Our green roofs are like a private park; the staff can even choose fruits or vegetables to plant! Many don’t realize that a green roof also reduces the contribution of heat built-up by the sea of roofs of the city, and this terrace is simply watered using collected rainwater.
The green roofs of the Pierre-Lassonde Building are where art and nature meet. Seen from above, they give the impression that the building grew naturally between the city and the park. Few people know that the 90,000 plants growing on these roofs reflect the curves of the surrounding terrain and change colours with the seasons, just like the flora of the Battlefields Park. From the Contemporary Art Room on the second floor, visitors can enjoy a sweeping view of the green roof and the garden; on the third floor, they can even extend their visit by enjoying the outdoor terrace. Come, unwind and contemplate our green roofs; it’s a natural way to recharge your batteries.
The Port of Montréal’s Grand Quay, designed in collaboration with Provencher Roy Architectes, is now able to accommodate a growing number of cruise ships. Montrealers, cruise passengers and tourists can now enjoy contemporary infrastructure and public spaces that reflect this iconic location. The landscaping project highlights the richness of the industrial heritage through connections with existing structures. The green roof allows flexibility of use and puts forward the principles of ecological planning, while offering a unique viewpoint over the river, the islands and the city.
