The Response
Winning Entry, the scheme proposes a bold story-line linking the Studios’ creative drive to Montreal’s DNA as expressed by a promenade along Saint-Laurent boulevard, from River to Mount-Royal. This is articulated as a picturesque journey inside the building, as a linear narrative exploring 6 neighborhoods, from Old Montreal through Quartier des spectacles and Mile-End, and culminating with a mountain view on the rooftop terrace.
