Zone

Posted by

In 1997 Montréal architects Atelier in situ completed work on the Zone building in Montréal’s Faubourg des Récollets. In a self-created residency, Shearwood spent the better part of a year recording the traces of the building’s industrial past, its massive renovation, and its sleek transformation.
