Description:
Proposed commercial infill concept for the development of the city block bounded by Sherbrooke St., de la Montagne St., de Maisonneuve Ouest Blvd., and Crescent St. in Montréal. The design was specific to the site, but developed to apply to any area where there was economic pressure to intensify land use and where the buildings warranted preservation. The plan featured a multi-level galleria over the lane and an extension of the rear of existing properties to connect with it.
