Located at the corner of Avenue de la Ronde and Rue Bruneau close to the Hôpital de l’Enfant-Jésus, the Hubert project contributes to densifying the Maizerets sector, which is currently in full development. Aside from an underground parking lot, this 24-unit building also houses a large rooftop terrace for the enjoyment of its occupants. Energy efficiency and large windows, Hubert deals more soberly with the openings to support the residential canvas of the sector. In addition, in order to lighten the volume and reduce its impact on the neighborhood, the upper floors were treated with a clear coating to contrast with the typical reddish masonry of the neighborhood. The project is supported by CMHC’s National Housing Strategy’s Rental Construction Financing program, which aims to offer units at a lower price than the current market. The programme also involves the provision of six adapted units for people with reduced mobility.
