As requested by Kativik Ilisarniliriniq, we designed larger family units for student parents and their children, as well as rooms dedicated to cultural activities, such as preparing country food, sculpture, and physical training. At every entrance, it was also important to provide a closed hall with furniture to store boots. In addition, colour choices influence how spaces are perceived; for this residence, we chose a palette of blues and whites inspired by Kuujjuaq\u2019s natural elements, and we avoided bright shades of red and orange.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"testimonial-bottom-box\">\n                                                \n                            <div class=\"testimonial-signature-box\" data-aos=\"fade\" data-aos-delay=\"500\">\n                                                                    <span class=\"nom-personne\">Alexis Lemonde-Cornellier and Guillaume L\u00e9vesque<\/span>                                     <span class=\"poste\"> Rayside-Labossi\u00e8re + Guillaume L\u00e9vesque architectes, in consortium<\/span>                            <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"col-8 col-5xl-4 col-lg-5 d-flex align-items-center\">\n\n                                    <div class=\"image-box\" data-aos=\"fade-right\" data-aos-delay=\"100\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kativik.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/08-20250826-architectes-kuq-kaj-cr-madje-adovohekpe-1110-v1.jpg\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\">\n                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/12&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;10\/12&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]At the student residence, some of the studios were designed to be convertible into double rooms to accommodate families.
