The sprawling concrete landscape of the Olympic Park is where Montreal’s own Aire Commune will unveil its Espace solaire, Quebec’s first fully solar-powered public space. The bright yellow structure offers more than just shade, as it transforms sunshine into electricity while providing a much-needed place to work, meet, or simply relax.
The installation is made up of canopies supported by steel and concrete frames, integrated with comfortable seating areas, work tables, and built-in planter benches. Each unit includes high-speed Wi-Fi, electrical outlets for charging devices, and integrated solar panels to power the entire setup. The modular design creates a series of connected yet distinct spaces, with both covered and open-air seating arranged around central tables.
