The project designed by GKC Architects concerns the creation and construction of the new distribution center of Maison Simons in the northern section of Quebec City. This new distribution center, named Campus Simons, is architecturally modern and inspiring. Inspired by the fashion industry, the concept revolves around the symbolic themes of modeling and weaving, and promotes architectural cohesion and occupant well-being. The solid volume is weightlessly structured and reflects creative thought. The interplay between light and shadow mimics the effervescence of artistic design.
