Arsenal & Co.

GRANDS PRIX DU DESIGN – 17th edition
Discipline : Interior Design
Categories : Accommodation, Restaurant & Bar / Restaurant ≤ 1,600 sq.ft. (≤ 500 sq. m.) : Gold Certification
Discover Arsenal & Co., an extraordinary complex nestled in the heart of the industrial park of Saint-Malo in Quebec, where the past meets modernity in a perfectly orchestrated blend. The result of a collaboration between Groupe Top Resto, Archibald Microbrewery, and master distiller Baptiste Gissinger, this ambitious project has found its sanctuary within the historically rich walls of the former Arsenal munitions factory.
Arsenal & Co. unfolds in four distinct phases, each offering a unique experience:
- The restaurant, arranged in tiers, provides every diner with an unobstructed view of the stage, ensuring an immersive experience during events.
- The boutique invites discovery and on-site product tasting.
- The distillery unveils the artisanal craftsmanship of the team through spirit production.
- A terrace, accommodating up to 200 people, offers a splendid view of the city of Quebec.
The aesthetic of Arsenal & Co. skillfully merges the past and the present, integrating raw materials such as steel, wood, and concrete, as well as more refined elements like copper and velvet. Every detail, from the furniture to the lighting fixtures, contributes to creating a rich and enveloping ambiance. The imposing chandeliers, reaching up to 9’6″, true focal points suspended above the bar area, instantly draw the eye upon entry, adding a touch of grandeur to the entire space.
The generous 37-foot ceiling height and the industrial structure of the building posed a significant challenge in terms of acoustic management. Thanks to innovative solutions proposed by the design team, such as the installation of acoustic panels, theater curtains, and special coatings, the space has been transformed into a place that is as pleasing to the ear as it is to the eye.
It is worth noting that only the restaurant has been completed and is open to the public so far. The other phases of the project will be integrated soon or are currently in development. In order to optimize the logistics of these subsequent phases and ensure a seamless experience, Patriarche has developed a thoughtful customer journey, allowing visitors to fully immerse themselves in the distillery’s universe.
