Centre Yee Kang

Construction of the new Kang Yee Center which includes a first building with wooden structure with 19 units on 3 floors and a second building with a concrete structure of 65 units on 5 floors.This is a project funded by the City of Montreal for the retired Chinese community. Initially, the project was beyond the base budget and it was only after several interventions between various professionals and Module as the two buildings forming the center in question were built.The Kang Yee Centre is located between Billion street on one side and Hôtel-de-Ville street on the other. Although it is surrounded by old buildings, it is well integrated into the landscape of the neighborhood and its architectural harmony. The special feature of this center is the delimitation of the area: it was “made ​​to measure” in a well defined area, surrounded by buildings and extending from one street to another .The architect who worked on this project was Douglas Alford and the structural and electromechanical engineers were Sylvain Parr & Associates and Martin Roy, Ingénieur Conseil.
