Architectural photography of the Curtis rest area in the Eastern Townships

Mandate

Architectural photography assignment for the new Curtis rest area, designed by BGLA. The project stands out with a volumetry inspired by the agricultural landscape, a layout sensitive to the site, and expressive wood architecture. The images highlight the building, its integration into the surroundings, and its role as a contemporary public infrastructure.
