This is a strong coloured scheme which organizes and structures a diverse play program

This project involved the complete redesign and redevelopment of Montreal’s Paul-Bruchési Elementary School yard. Originally entitled “Blue Yard”, the project is located in the trendy Plateau-Mont-Royal neighbourhood, but was built with very a limited budget. For economic reasons, the school decided to keep the existing asphalt paving and build a new project on top. NIPpaysage decided to work within this requirement by exploring large patches of painted colors and softer surfaces to give the site a well-deserved landscape makeover. The result was achieved by implementing a strong coloured scheme to organise and structure different uses and programmed activities. Using circulation patterns and building volumes, a grid of white lines was established, defining and organizing play and other leisure spaces.

The white lines become the site’s main structure. The oblique outlines of this “white frame” are determined by the architectural elements of the school’s heritage building, such as the entrances or general built volume. Within the white grid, bright blue areas provide various programs. This net of white lines and blue surfaces becomes the texture of play for the entire project. Furthermore, the blue asphalt surface comes alive by the introduction of vegetation (native trees, shrubs, perennial groundcovers, etc.) and the addition of an odd-shaped sculptural earthwork covered with diversely coloured recycled rubber surfaces. This project was built within a neighborhood-scale pilot project to reduce the heat island effects in the downtown area.

Pictograms, synthetic grass berm and long wooden benches for a dynamic play space

The landscape project was for the complete renovation and revitalization of major exterior spaces for the St-Paul-de-la-Croix Primary school, in the northern neighborhood of Montreal called Ahuntsic.

By using the existing topography as a dynamic activity anchor, destination and viewing point, NIPpaysage created diverse opportunities for school activit ies, including relaxation, informal and structured play. To emphasize the importance of sports and student movement through the site, the schoolyard landscape is circumscribed by a zigzagging contemporary running track that follows and unifies the two main levels of the schoolyard space. Colorful pictograms and thick l ines painted on the pavement animate the dark asphalt surfaces and create a dialog with the children running around the space.

Slopes are used to a maximum as a design tool, half of which is sculpted into a comfortable berm of synthetic grass and half of which is built into a wooden seating area. Densely framed with native planting zones at both extremities of the site, the relationship to the urban fabric beyond is improved and the impact of street traffic and noise are reduced.

The addit ion of a cool and shaded green classroom area near mature street trees allows students and teachers to also use the site in spring and autumn for academic purposes. The overall project combines students’ ever-present energy with a playful design intent.

An iconic oversized table creates an electrifying garden

Temporary garden presented by NIPpaysage, a Montréal landscape architects in collaboration with Hydro-Québec for the Métis International Garden Festival. “Le Bon Arbre Au Bon Endroit” (The right tree at the right place) reminds them that planting the right tree in the right place makes good sense. Above, thousands of birds perched on dozens of cables surround the garden. On the ground, the project has evolved over a three year period: 2008-wire reel garden, 2009-hammock garden and 2010-giant picnic table garden.

In the garden “Le Bon Arbre Au Bon Endroit”, NIPpaysage has created an electrifying garden. Thousands of birds congregate on lines help to illustrate the many uses of hydro wires in the landscape. And by planting the right tree in the right place, wires and gardens can happily co-habit the same space.

The table is an ideal meeting space, a festive place l ike no other. To exchange bites or speeches, nothing else matters than the diner evolving around the altar of greed. Here, it is an iconic oversized table, crossing a landscape dominated by a large chandelier, which invites visitors to the feast. Surrounded by wired walls and full of birds, that are fully guests, the installation enhances the earth’s pleasures making them the best paradise of all.

为庆祝马蒂斯国际花园节，位于蒙特利尔的

NIP与Hydro-Québec两家景观设计公司联手

打造了一个临时花园，名为Le Bon Arbre Au

Bon Endroit（意为：在正确的地方种植正确的

树），试图提醒人们只有在合适地方栽种正确

的植物才有意义。花园四周被电缆线环绕，上

面挂着成千上万只小鸟造型的装饰物，仿佛小

鸟们在那里栖息。花园分三部分，历时三年完

工，包括2008年完工的钢丝盘卷花园、2009年

的吊床花园和2010年的大型野餐桌花园。

花园的设计十分有趣，振奋人心。聚集在电缆

线上的小鸟造型的装饰物展现了海德鲁缆线在

景观中所具备的众多用途。正是因为这里满足

了“正确的地方种植正确的树木”，缆线和花

野餐桌花园的设计别具一格，充满欢乐，为人

Explosive sea urchin silhouettes celebrate a garden festival's 10th anniversary.

In this year of jubilee, the gardens of Métis are overflowing.

The waters of the Saint Lawrence River flow insuppressibly, whether along the shores of Métis-sur-Mer, where the far bank of the river can hardly be seen, or along the piers of Old Montreal where the port once gave birth to the city - the waters are one and the same.

With that in mind, a sea creature (the sea urchin) was the inspiration when the International Gardens Festival decided to celebrate its 10th anniversary further upstream. Curious beast and hybrid, the sea urchin has an extraordinary form that translates into an intricate sculpture within the gardens. Far from its original context, the sea urchins’ explosive silhouettes dominate the public plaza like a group of strangers on the grass. Designed to be built of wood, the Place de la Dauversière’s new colony would freely spread just like they simply landed there and decided to stay for a while. Simple in the layout on the public plaza, the design searches to preserve flexibility and better space efficiency as well as to allow the budget to be adapted according the client’s needs. The project preserves the space’s multi-functionality while also joyfully inhabiting it. The form of the urchin also invokes images of fireworks – in effect, these objects whose arms point in all directions like so many sparks lend themselves quite well to night lighting making the space all the more festive.

Interactive urban adventure through improvised play

The design of a new play area in one of Montreal’s larger public parks was an interesting experience. In the case of Jarry Park, many people coming from the diverse surrounding communities and neighborhoods use the green space for a wide range of recreation activities throughout the year.

To design the playground, a contemporary and experiential approach was used to create a modern urban adventure path, preserving exist ing trees and keeping al l excavated materials on site to create topography.

An interactive timber footpath, inspired by the space’s topography, vegetation and materials, meanders through a grove of maple trees, al lowing seating for parents, lounging for teenagers and a diversity of improvised play opportunities for younger adventurers.

This project also proposes an ecological a p p r o a c h t o s u r f a c e r u n o f f a n d w a t e r management through the ornamental grasses, native shrubs and hardy perennials. To add colour and interest, bird houses were carefully placed close to the play area for the enjoyment of parents and children alike. The birdhouses emphasize the r ichness of the local bird community and overall biodiversity within this large park.
