Beaconsfield cultural center competition
Beaconsfield, QC
The IMAGINE Centennial project envisions a new multifunctional cultural center in Beaconsfield and the revitalization of its adjacent facilities. Chevalier Morales, in collaboration with Vlan Paysages, Pageau Morel, Latéral, and Équipe Laurence, proposes to integrate a library within the building, transforming the center into a vibrant hub for social and intellectual life. Allowing the site to bloom in new ways, the project seeks to enhance community engagement with its Centennial Park, a space already deeply cherished by residents.
The building’s location, along with its parking lot and boat launch on the eastern side of the site, reflects the vision of transforming Centennial Park and the marina into an urban sanctuary where nature, culture, and history converge. The design draws inspiration from English romantic gardens, elegantly structuring the space, and is set to become a focal point for community and cultural events in the region.
In addition to bookshelves and reading areas, the proposal includes a range of multifunctional spaces, such as a youth activity room, a multipurpose hall, a computer and creative lab, a bistro, and a terrace.
