The Mariners' House, the fifth pavilion of Pointe-à-Callière, is a contemporary and urban project that continues the architectural dialogue with the museum’s main pavilion.

Its façade on Place d’Youville stands out with an imposing two-storey glass curtain wall, providing exceptional brightness and transparency that invites visitors to explore this new space.

Acquired by Pointe-à-Callière in 2004, the Mariners' House now houses exhibition spaces as well as a dedicated area for educational workshops. It is connected to the museum through the crypt located beneath Place Royale, allowing visitors to access the facilities via an elevator and a sculptural staircase.

The façade facing Place d’Youville is structured by a two-storey curtain wall that enlivens the entire building. A new glass pavilion on the roof completes the facilities, offering an exceptional reception area.
