RENÉE MAILHOT, SÉBASTIEN PARENT, YANNICK LAURIN (Canada)
Associate Architects - La Shed Architecture (Canada)
Formed by three young architects partners and co-founders, Sébastien Parent, Yannick Laurin and Renée Mailhot, the Shed was born from a shared passion for design and Montreal, and from the conviction that architecture can be done differently by developing a real complicity with individuals who choose to see their living environment invented, or reinvented. The reorganization of cramped spaces and the optimal use of space are constraints that the Shed is used to working with, succeeding brilliantly in designing attractive and well-thought-out living spaces. Openness, light and alignment are at the base of all the achievements, which are distinguished by functional and resolutely contemporary layouts and by the use of sustainable, affordable and classic materials.
Crowned with considerable success from its first projects, the Shed has been highlighted by a number of specialized media and design and architecture awards. In fact, the firm was awarded the 2016 Emerging Architectural Firm Award by the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC), the Ronald-J.-Thom Architectural Design Award from the Canada Council for the Arts in 2018, a Governor General's Medal in Architecture in 2022, and has already won several Awards of Excellence in Architecture from the Ordre des Architects du Québec (2015, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2022), a Governor General's Medal in Architecture in 2022, and has already won several Awards of Excellence in Architecture from the Ordre des Architects du Québec (2015, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023).
