"The goal of the project was to make the interior of the 1962 building feel fresh and welcoming for the new generation of creative staff working there. To achieve that, Jean Pelland, #architect and principal partner at Sid Lee Architecture, and his team drew inspiration from the infinite grid motif of the Place Ville Marie development and imbued every element of the #design with it, creating a continuity between the public esplanade outside and offices inside. The result is the illusion of an infinite floating lattice that’s accented by the vibrant #green of tropical #plants. It has aptly been christened the Biosquare.

“'It was based on the modern design principles, which dictated how the original building was constructed—with an infinite grid which runs through all four quadrants that make Place Ville Marie’s base,' explains Pelland. 'We thought it would be interesting to do the same in a microcosm.'

"The matrixlike system creates the illusion of a fully open workspace with an uninterrupted view of the plaza outside from the ground-floor entrance and café, while housing electrical components and creating opportunities to insert subtle partitions. Above, as if floating, two mezzanines connected by three bridges form the main workspaces, which are bathed in natural light from the skylights above."

“'The infinite grid allows for everything to be interconnected, and provides a structure for lighting, dividing walls, and suspended #greenery,' says Pelland. 'It also allows for a metamorphosis of these different environments but always with an underlying fine linear structure that ties everything together.'
