A member of the "Réseau québécois des écoles entrepreneuriales et environnementales", École Philippe-Labarre recycles its paper and makes, among other things, cards for the holiday season. In collaboration with the Montreal School Service Center, the HTA team developed a concept inspired by the paper mill. Origami shapes the facades, forming angular openings here and there, while creating modular interior areas on the first floor. The use of color and the irregular shapes of the windows give rhythm to the common areas and classrooms, offering students a unique learning environment dedicated to creativity.

Despite the small size of the site, the contemporary language of the extension maintains a generous courtyard format and fluid circulation, establishing a dialogue with the neighborhood. Echoing the concrete of the existing building, the new building's exterior cladding of architectural concrete blocks comes in three shades of grey to match the yellow brick. A brightly colored aluminum volume establishes the link between the two buildings, and colorful reminders punctuate some of the classroom windows.
