OUR APPROACH At the heart of our approach: active listening to needs, a creative and continuous search for solutions, integral project management from design to completion to produce a tailor-made architecture that is expressed through sustainable materials and a high level of construction details.
DESIGN DURABLE CARGOarchitecture works with Canadian organizations such as the Canada Green Building Council (LEED Canada), Natural Resources Canada and FPInnovation to promote the use of lumber in commercial buildings. Thus, we make sure to create buildings with added value that offer healthy living, working and leisure spaces while participating in the sustainable development of communities. Several projects are under development and others are currently under construction.
INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE Before founding his own business, Charles-Bernard Gagnon acquired a solid body of knowledge through his work in renowned architectural firms in Great Britain and Canada. From 1996 to 2006, he actively participated in the development of various large-scale projects in Europe and North America, particularly in the academic, commercial and infrastructure sectors (bridges and pedestrian walkways).
WHY CARGO
CARGOarchitecture is a strong image and an analogy that beautifully reflects our practice; it is a transport of knowledge, it is the movement of ideas in a common direction. The modern ship is, moreover, a powerful symbol; it is a system in which the smallest details count, in which each piece is the work of a thoughtful act of design. The cargo concept also represents rigor in respecting the schedule, a determining factor in the quality and success of a project. We finally believe that these different themes skillfully transmit our perfectionism and our heart to work.
