Espace Montmorency
Espace Montmorency is a mixed-use development located next to the Montmorency metro station in Laval, a city in Quebec, Canada. Designed by Montreal-based Sid Lee Architecture, this high-density project has its origins in a building blocks principle, which allows vertical and horizontal phasing.
