Sid Lee Architecture and Ædifica turned the parking area at Place des Arts into a Salon Urbain, a versatile new space 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 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 bar is the pièce de resistance of the Salon Urbain, a hymn to art: a sound wave in physical form.
