Hôpital Chinois

This project involved the design of an iconic Chinese public and cultural garden located in the heart of Montreal's Chinatown. Envisioned as a space for rehabilitation and gathering, the garden integrates universal accessibility—including features for the visually impaired—and offers a diverse range of activities tailored to both residents and visitors.

Objective

The scope of work encompassed the production of plans, specifications, addenda, and required permits, supported by close collaboration with the CIUSSS du Centre‑Sud, the Foundation, and all participating professionals. A strong focus was placed on stylistic exploration and the integration of biophilic features — from water elements to dense, enveloping vegetation — to soften the surrounding urban soundscape and deliver a fully immersive experience.
