That photoshopped concrete building picture is very cool. Is it that monstrosity you can
see across the water from the port area?





What is that thing, anyhow?

a grain silo.

We're waiting for the selected project by the port authority after the public tender for its rehabilitation.

It might become a museum annex, a residential complex, ...

its the old grain Silo #5.

The port Authority of montreal has hired my firm to give them ideas of what should be done with this monstrosity. There were plans of turning it into a residential complex with a 50 storey tower(i doubt we'll be seeing this), others proposed of turning into a museum.

I say we should strap a few hundred kilos of C-4 to this thing and blow it up baby! KA-BOOM!!!!
