Pont D’Art’chester – Québec
Public space
The redevelopment of the D’Art’chester Bridge (Dorchester Bridge) aims to enliven and enhance the connection over the Saint-Charles River with installations, furniture, and greenery. Given its artistic vocation, Quebec City wanted to highlight this contemplative space and offer pedestrians and cyclists a welcoming place to stop. The new development includes freestanding shade structures and custom-made furniture that encourages users to relax and enjoy the space.

Mission
Design and project management
The creation of this square is part of Quebec City’s transitional space development project, positioning itself as a renewal and, where appropriate, an enhancement of the experience of these places, emphasizing their close relationship with water. The concept therefore proposes a sensitive and colorful development program, taking the form of a wide range of custom-designed outdoor equipment, graphically inspired by the river enhancement program implemented by Quebec City. The aim is to strengthen the dialogue between users and the natural heritage of the rivers through these original, attractive, and high-quality public spaces.
