Jodoin Lamarre Pratte architectes
Jodoin Lamarre Pratte architectes devotes its practice to the design of architectural projects for society—mainly in the fields of healthcare, transportation, education, research and culture—as well as the realization of large corporate and governmental projects. The firm works towards the conception of a human, sensitive, intelligent architecture that respects its environment, combining creativity, knowledge and innovation. It values the diversity and complementarity of the skills and expertise of the members of its large team and perpetuates a culture of collaboration, inclusion, integrity and thoroughness.
It is in this spirit that the firm work with their clients and partners to create sustainable buildings. Sustainability manifests itself holistically in all aspects of the building, whether it is flexibility of use, durability of systems, overall energy performance, ecological footprint of materials, quality of living environments, integration of the building with its environment, or resilience to climate change.
Recipient of over 180 awards of excellence and distinctions in architecture, the firm has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to design and build projects of high architectural quality. Founded in 1958 by Bernard Jodoin, Denis Lamarre and Gérard Pratte, Jodoin Lamarre Pratte architectes is now a team of 180 architects, technologists, technicians, designers and other professionals under the direction of Julie Boucher, Michel Broz, Catherine Demers, Martine Gévry, Sylvain Morrier and Nicolas Ranger.
