The Snowdon Theatre, a jewel of art deco architecture reflecting the chic of 1930s, is part of Montrealers’ imagination. The project’s challenge was to respect the theater’s architectural language while integrating a contemporary extension. The existing volume was preserved and hollowed out To achieve this. The contemporary intervention, light and airy, consists in the construction of three additional storeys with a mezzanine and shared roof terrace. The clear distinction between the existing and contemporary volumes is part of the integration strategy. The latter is inspired by the building’s strong lines, reinterpreting the verticality of the Art Deco movement.
