Provencher_Roy was the competition-winning team for the mandate to revitalize part of the lobby of the emblematic building.
Head office of one of the largest insurance companies in Quebec and Canada, the Sun Life Building was built in three phases between 1914 and 1933. The first phase was completed in 1918, making it the largest building in the British Empire.
From a lounge with a view of the exterior to a gym space, spacious restaurant area, welcoming rental spaces open to circulation, and streamlined hallways, every last corner was designed to ensure that occupants benefit from an abundance of natural light.
In the lobby, opaque storefronts have been replaced with inviting window displays, transforming the hallways into an appealing interior “streetscape.” Provencher_Roy ensured to reuse the most precious materials used in the original building in a contemporary manner – remaining sleek and sober, yet bringing a modern touch to the design.
