Text description provided by the architects. Located in the former premises of a long-standing Montréal magazine store, MRDK approached the design of Edicola as both an homage to the social rituals of the Italian café and a reinterpretation of the site's cultural memory. By preserving the spirit of the original newsstand through an integrated wall-mounted magazine display, the project establishes an immediate connection between past and present. A place where browsing, gathering, drinking, and dining naturally coexist.
