Architect Paul Laurendeau shared with us his competition proposal for the Saint-Michel Soccer Stadium in Montréal, Québec, Canada. Playing on the contrast between black exterior and wood interior, the stadium’s simple form makes it stand out from its context. More images and brief project description after the break.
As bold silver letters with a soccer ball printed on the main facade announce the building’s function, a black canopy signals the building’s entrance along Papineau Avenue for cars, cyclists and pedestrians. A 10 meter wide boardwalk along the front facade creates a link between the sidewalk and main entrance and the double height square entrance hall distributes the public along interior circulations axes and creates a link with the bleachers above.
