Grandir en Santé – CHU Sainte-Justine

GRANDS PRIX DU DESIGN – 12th edition

Provencher_Roy | Menkès Shooner Dagenais LeTourneux Architectes nailed the challenge of creating a new building at CHU Sainte-Justine, for children to “grow healthy”, that favours innovation and humanizes health care, research and education.

The neighbouring Mont Royal Mountain is a source of inspiration. Hyper nature conquers the insides of the halls, from the pediatric, surgical and neonatal care rooms to the laboratories, meeting and research halls and auditoriums. The layout favours elements that remind us of the mountain’s animal and plant life, while natural light is maximized to warm the body and soul. Circulation spaces offer green paths that are soothing for the sick. A natural palette reigns, colour wise, with shades reminiscent of local plants, stones, water streams and leaves.

The jury noted the project’s asymmetry, innovation and original use of materials, as well as the details, which help visitors forget that they are inside a hospital.
