2023 Winner

The Sid Lee Biosquare is a complex office space located at the base of Place Ville Marie in Montreal. The new office for its 400 workers consists of four quadrants and three floors. To help staff navigate the large space, Sid Lee developed a signage system that used elevation and the four cardinal directions to indicate a precise location. Each floor was designed with nature-centric inspiration along with its own specific colour, room naming system, materials, style elements, design choices and layout. The Underground features sombre, mineral- like details inspired by subterranean spaces like caves and mines; the Ground features vegetation and wood, reflecting places like jungles and forests; and details
on the Upperground evoke both sky and space.
