TEAM
A graduate of the Université de Montréal’s School of Architecture in 2005, Catherine St-Marseille joined Provencher_Roy in 2016 and became a partner in 2021. Her involvement in three phases of the Quartier des spectacles development, as well as in the Promenade Samuel-De Champlain in Québec City, enabled her to strengthen her expertise in urban design, from conception through to construction supervision. At the same time, her civic engagement and interest in public art led her to co-found the CHÂSSI collective. Active since 2010, this group of planning and design professionals promotes social interaction through the creation of event-based interventions and temporary installations designed to foster the appropriation and enhancement of public spaces by and for all.
Whether leading design, project management or production, Catherine St-Marseille has developed strong expertise in the multi-residential sector through a range of major projects, for which she has at times overseen BIM and multidisciplinary coordination. Driven by innovation in building systems and sustainable development, she led the realization of TAK Prestige, a townhouse development whose structure and exterior cladding showcase the use of wood, as well as the Arbora mixed-use commercial and residential complex, built using mass timber (CLT), which received a Cecobois Award of Excellence in 2021. A partner of Université Laval’s Industrial Research Chair in Sustainable Wood Construction (CIRCERB) since 2018, Catherine has given numerous lectures and interviews on the benefits and challenges of wood construction in Québec, including for the Canada Green Building Council and at the Woodrise Congress.
