Montreal, September 26th 2017 – The Ordre des architectes du Québec​ has unveiled today its 2017 Excellence Awards finalists. Our renovation project of the National Bank’s Trading Floor located in the patrimonial Sun Life building has been nominated in the Interior Design category. The National Bank’s highly active floor is home to thousands of financial transactions each day. It remains the most important stock exchange office in the Quebec province. Architecture49’s Montreal had as a mandate to create a more luminous, comfortable and technological environment for the 256 traders and directors.

Congratulations to everyone at Architecture49 Montréal​ and to all our collaborators: NCK, Bouthillette Parizeau, Progest Construction and many others.
