Pelletier de Fontenay

Pelletier de Fontenay is a Montreal-based architectural studio, founded in 2010 by Hubert Pelletier and Yves de Fontenay. The studio has a strong design focus and is currently developing a series of public projects, including museums, schools, cultural centers and libraries. The studio is also engaged in the design of private residences, housing, pavilions, exhibitions and urban planning. This variety of project type and scale fosters the exploration of a wide range of ideas, typologies and building approaches.Rather than developing a specific style or a predefined formal langage, the studio's approach is based on the principle that different conditions produce different expressions. Projects are conceived by postponing the vision of a finished product for as long as possible, placing instead trust in the creative process as the generator of architecture that is always distinctive.
