Assembly of First Nations Office
2024
The AFN unites all of First Nations in Canada. This unifying force is symbolized as soon as the visitors arrive. They are immediately imbued with the occupation of the ancestral territory by more than 600 communities and its approximately 900,000 indigenous people living throughout Canada. By showcasing the AFN’s unique collection of artworks across the different workspaces, it is easy to sense the rich and precious diversity of their identities.
To enter is to be guided by the power of traditional teachings helping the AFN, its employees and its partners to pursue their commitments with the aim of making communities prosper.
Val d’Or Quality Inn Hotel
2024
The Quality Inn Val d’Or needed an update. The challenge was to harmonize the original coverings with new finishes in order to create a stylish and trendy whole. We had the pleasure of updating the style of the entire hotel (bedrooms, dining room, meeting rooms, corridors, lobby) in order to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Given the client’s great sensitivity to indigenous culture, we had to feel the spirit of the Cree and Anicinape territory in the proposed design.
