News

At the beginning of this year, we would like to share with you a great and happy news: the management of DMA architects welcomes three new partners: Geneviève Riopel, Bastien Gagné and Sébastien Dubois.

Alongside Jozef Zorko, François Lemoine, Philippe Ashby and Colin J. Hanley, they will each contribute in their own way to the writing of a new chapter in the history of DMA.

They have already been dedicated to DMA for more than ten years, and becoming partners is the logical continuation of their commitment and passion for our office, our team and its achievements.

"The jury would like to point out that the winning team has distinguished itself by the high quality and the excellent development potential of the project for subsequent phases''.

The jury celebrates the creativity of our team: in situ + DMA in collaboration with civiliti, EXP and LEM Experts-Conseils, by declaring us the winner of this competition.

Being among the 4 finalists out of 19 proposals received, it was with great excitement that we presented our concept in detail to the jury on Monday, May 17. It is based on 4 key principles.

1-Turn your gaze towards the Ottawa River
2-Open up to the vitality of the city
3-Dialoguing with Old Aylmer
4-Placing light at the heart of the concept, proposing a route to a lookout point on the Ottawa River.

Congratulations to all the participants. We know how much a competition requires an extraordinary strength of proposal but especially an enormous capacity of work on behalf of the whole team and this, until the very end.

The complete project will be online soon. Please follow us.

The new PLACE DES PIONNIERS is an architectural, landscaping and urban design project regrouping a library (current Lucy-Faris library which will be demolished) and municipal services. The conceptual approach developed by our team composed of: in situ + DMA architects - civiliti - EXP - LEM experts-conseils won over the jury among the 19 proposals received.

"I congratulate the finalists of the competition. This building will certainly become a landmark and a source of pride for Gatineau. "Isabelle N. Miron, Councillor and Chair of the Commission des arts, de la culture, des lettres et du patrimoine.
