From the road, the volume forms a clean line in the landscape, concealing the amplitude of the <em>Cit\u00e9 <\/em>below.<\/p>\n<p>The durability of the ensemble and the concern for long-term coherence have contributed to the development of an immutable architecture that can adapt to different development scenarios. Monochromatic and prismatic, the natural cedar wood volumes are punctuated by black boxes; vestibules welcoming the visitor and guiding him in his various discoveries and experiences. Each pavilion can thus offer different atmospheres within a cohesive and understandable architectural framework.<\/p>\n<p>A vernacular nod to the farm buildings of the surrounding farmland, the silver cedar siding recalls the site\u2019s history while contributing to the use of local and sustainable resources. With development objectives that will make F\u00d6RENA the most important spa in Canada, all facilities meet universal accessibility criteria.<\/p>\n<p>The pavilions, with their geometrically clear openings, become mediums for connecting to the environment and help create a comfortable place where natural light, inherent ventilation and superb views are essential to the feeling of the landscape synergy.<\/p>\n<p>The use of local resources is also integrated into the site&#8217;s design. The site and the ponds granite stones were all selected directly from the nearby quarry. The site water management strategies and the vast parking lot favor bio-retention and drainage ditches. The old agricultural ditches were mostly preserved and integrated into the new green infrastructures, so as not to modify the natural water network, not to deplete the water table and ultimately not to affect the crops and the ecosystem of the neighboring plots.<\/p>\n<p>With its exemplary coherence between commercial vocation and environmental integration, F\u00d6RENA can now serve as a benchmark for peri-urban developments which sorely lack a lasting and sustainable vision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-570","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>F\u00f6rena Cit\u00e9 Thermale | Blouin Beauchamp Architectes<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/blouinbeauchamp.ca\/en\/portfolio\/forena-cite-thermale\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"F\u00f6rena Cit\u00e9 Thermale | Blouin Beauchamp Architectes\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"She is timeless; She is inspired by history while affirming its longevity.
