To revitalize the village core of the City of Mascouche along Chemin Sainte-Marie, several initiatives have been implemented to make this historic heart of the city more dynamic and lively. The city aims to enhance access to the Mascouche River for its citizens, facilitate access to businesses along the main artery, and provide visitors and residents with an enjoyable living environment in the heart of their city.

In this context, the municipality has tasked our firm, among others, with proposing a design concept for this core area, focusing on enhancing the linear space in front of the church, along the Mascouche River. The proposed concept features sinuous lines reminiscent of the river's course, while offering a variety of surfaces (wood, stone, and permeable pavement) adorned with plantings of native trees, shrubs, grasses, and perennials.

Footbridges and relaxation areas, a recycled container with a green roof serving as an ephemeral building, and pre-planted flowerbeds blend together to respect the historic character and bring a touch of modernity to this public square in Old Mascouche.
