The project proposes enlarging the complex in a non-invasive manner. In the front yard, a slim new 3 storey pavilion contiguous to the neighboring building was designed to house new office space and a daycare center. This new addition frames the existing building in a contemporary manner, while providing an overflow of animated functions onto the exterior landscape. In the middle section, the junction between the original house and the 1984 annex is re-designed to allow for more efficient circulation and to provide additional floor space. The new project elements effectively frame the heritage house on Saint-Urbain while providing a secondary side entry for employees and volunteers. This sensitive approach to the existing building has been rewarded by an Orange Mention by the Sauvons Montreal heritage group.
