Community center: renewed spaces to better welcome and bring together the community

Client: Centre Communautaire Bon Courage - 2025

In collaboration with: Melinda Hart Design

Brief

Design preliminary layouts for the community centre's new location, taking into account the growing needs of users and employees in order to develop and enrich the range of services offered.

Deliverable

  • Layout typologies and criteria
  • Recommendations for service evolution

Observation and interviews with staff

Through staff-led tours and on-site activity observation sessions, we were able to gain a deep understanding of the existing and unmet needs of the center's users, employees, and volunteers.

Preliminary proposals and co-design workshops

To begin the design process, we developed preliminary proposals for improvements while remaining sensitive to the issues and the reality on the ground. We tested these proposals in co-design workshops with staff to ensure they met the team's needs.

Production of layout typologies

Thanks to the co-design workshops, we reworked the design proposals and identified the typologies and criteria that will allow the architects to formally define the layout of the spaces during their redesign.

For a better world, one project at a time.
