Maurice Martel

The firm Maurice Martel architect represents a creative way to think design, materiality, structure and construction in the evolution of contemporary architecture. Founded in 2016, it aims to stimulate architecture and interior design through constructed projects, critical research, exhibitions and writing.

Each project begins with attentive listening to the client’s needs and in-depth research on the urban context, architectural forms, materials and details to imagine a personalized solution for each group or individual. A particular attention to all elements of project design is an integral part of the firm’s philosophy to enrich our lives and improve the built environment.

Its primary mission is to transgress the boundaries of design to create unique buildings and spaces that will awaken the imagination of its customers. They firmly believe that quality architecture and design should simply improve the quality of life. Although recently founded, his background acquired through his earlier firm Architecture Open Form gives him fifteen years of experience in the field of residential architecture; single houses, multi-housing and commercial buildings or spaces.

The quality of the architectural works and the reflections of Maurice Martel architect were recognized by the Grands Prix du Design, the Architectural Excellence Awards of the Quebec Order of Architects, the Québec Arts Council Fellowship, exhibitions at the Canadian Center for Architecture and the Maison de l’Architecture du Québec, and several publications on contemporary architecture.
