The Oasis Builder\u2019s Art<\/strong><\/p>\n

When admiring the elegant layout of the Bota Bota Gardens, it\u2019s easy to see why it\u2019s such an unparalleled oasis of R&R and a comforting refuge from the urban jungle. What\u2019s less obvious about this peaceful retreat is the incredible challenge that its construction represented. Just ask Charles C\u00f4t\u00e9 and Jean-S\u00e9bastien Herr, the two architects from the firm MU<\/a> that Bota Bota called upon to design the project.<\/p>\n

Even before plans were drawn up, it was clear this was an ambitious project. \u201cIt was unusual in that we had to deal with a wet environment,\u201d says Charles. Indeed, the job entailed building a haven of relaxation that included a pool, several basins, a sauna, and indoor and outdoor rest areas, and to make all of them accessible throughout the year.<\/p>\n

From the outset, Bota Bota and MU shared a common obsession: to ensure the new Gardens would seamlessly blend in with their natural surroundings and even showcase them. The architects were used to the idea. Projects seen all over the world are of course a source of inspiration for them, but at the same time they\u2019re always keen to adapt their work to the unique conditions of any given site.<\/p>\n

In this case, they decided to bear in mind the site\u2019s trees while planting grass on containers painted black to match the boat\u2019s steel. This creates the illusion of wide suspended expanses of lawn. The containers also act as a barrier to isolate the gardens from the street and from the city\u2019s hustle and bustle. The pool, its waterfall, and the various basins are thus surrounded by grassy containers and trees, not to mention the flowers and wide assortment of vegetation that will be planted every spring.<\/p>\n

The big problem, however, was ensuring that this space would be useable in winter. \u201cThis reality was a determining factor in the choice of materials,\u201d reveals Jean-S\u00e9bastien. The architects thus favoured the use of noble materials like stone and wood. Furthermore, a radiating floor was installed that uses state-of-the-art geothermal technology to collect heat from the St-Lawrence river, the ice and the boat\u2019s wastewater. \u201cIt\u2019s a very green project,\u201d says Charles, who acknowledges the valuable contribution made by David Trinque, Bota Bota\u2019s Director of Maintenance, on the development of this complex heating system.<\/p>\n

And, what, you may ask, were the architect\u2019s favourite features on the project? \u201cFirst and foremost, the pool, which is sure to be the hit of the summer. And then there are the perforated roof edges, which create a wonderful interplay of light and shadow.\u201d<\/p>\n

We hope you\u2019ll come by for a visit \u2013 spring, summer, fall or winter \u2013 to pick out your favourite feature!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
