Bonjour Montréal

Design
Urban
Installation

An emblematic structure for Montreal

Urban installation project for Tourisme Montréal. Directed by Rümker

Bonjour Montréal, now part of the city’s landscape, highlights the authenticity and diversity of Montreal’s culture.

CLIENT

Tourisme Montréal

Mandate

One of the major challenges was to create a walkway on a green roof with a technical membrane and install letters weighing several tons on it. On the creative side, the challenge was to design an inclusive and iconic structure reflecting the welcoming, French-speaking city, which both tourists and Montrealers will be able to make their own.

Approach

To do this, we combined inventive design and cutting-edge engineering to achieve a sustainable result that meets the high standards for green roofs.

ResultS

With Bonjour Montréal, we had the chance to continue our business relationship with Tourisme Montréal for another significant project for our city. This structure was designed with wood made from trees affected by the emerald ash borer and reclaimed by Bois Public. Thanks to its completely mirror-polished back, the piece also blends into the architectural fabric of the city.

It's all in the details.

Nous avons étudié toutes les proportions, l'alignement des planches de bois, les assises, le sens du grain de bois… tout ceci au millimètre près pour arriver à un design raffiné, ce qui fait entre autres le succès du projet.

À la suite d’études d'analyse de cycle de vie pour compensation carbone, la structure est maintenant officiellement carboneutre.

En plus de choisir des matériaux et des fournisseurs locaux, il y a aussi eu une grande collaboration dans le développement entre tous les acteurs du projet.

“We are happy to see that the Bonjour Montréal structure has quickly become a signature for the city.”
