Salon Urbain

Parking Garage Turned Event Space

Located in Montreal, Quebec, The Salon Urbain boasts an unconventional presence.  Designed by Sid Lee Architecture and Ædifica this versatile space is ideal for meeting up before or after a musical performance, a gallery visit or a conference. The Salon Urbain fully captures the artistic appeal of the site, located at the St. Urbain entrance of the Place des Arts and next to the new concert hall.  The Salon Urbain is a versatile space, equipped with the latest technology and perfect for any event. The goal of the Salon Urbain is to keep alive the magical feeling that comes with attending a concert.

“The Salon Urbain boasts a conveniently central location, but it really comes to life during events,” explains Martin Leblanc, architect and partner at Sid Lee Architecture. “The space is a destination in itself and a welcoming prelude to the musical and social experience it precedes.”

The ceiling is constructed in lacquered and folded white metal which incorporates uniformly abstract slashes of color changing LED light.  The ceiling incorporates three-dimensional perspectives that cast a futuristic glow upon the simplistic space below.
