Polycor Office / Hatem+D Architecture
Polycor, manufacturer and supplier of the stone material, wanted to redesign the head office?s layout in the Old-Port of Quebec city. The 120 years old building, was both full of discovering and surprises. The building had to be thought and integrated into the design and sometimes floors and walls were uneven and had to be refurbished. We wanted to keep a maximum of the existing elements in order to have texture and grasp a sharp contrast between new and old materials.
