We shape the landscapes around us to enhance the ways we live together in our schools, workplaces, and neighbourhoods.
By bringing nature to people and people to nature, we believe we can build a sustainable world.
Since 1992, our consulting firm has been creating inspiring spaces that stand the test of time. Our projects reflect the unique essence of their sites and the needs of those who experience them. With expertise in planning and landscape architecture, our team delivers innovative, long-term solutions that enhance our collective quality of life.
Projet Paysage was founded by Christian Ducharme and Catherine Rioux, and rose to prominence in the 1990s through their design of Québec’s iconic Mont-Tremblant Ski Resort. Even in these early days, the firm was laying the foundation for a broader mission: to create a diversity of human-centric spaces that stay true to and strengthen their sites’ sense of place.
Today, this proud heritage still guides our projects in every sphere, from institutional to municipal to real estate. Our distinctive ethos only grew stronger when two new principals took the helm. Serge Gallant and Maxime Brisebois have led by embracing current thinking while upholding the precept that landscape architecture and design shape our relationships with the world around us.
The spaces we create mature and grow more beautiful with the passage of time. Above all, they foster meaningful connections for the people who spend time in them. This magic happens thanks to a wealth of expertise and a diversity of perspectives. Our accomplished team of landscape architects, planners, urban designers, project managers, 3D modellers, and horticulturists collaborate on every stage of the project, from the drawing board until the shovels hit the ground. One constant is our multidisciplinary approach based on rethinking design at the deepest level – the only sure path to functional, well-used spaces. And our team’s agility makes it possible to adapt to a wide range of contexts, from wetlands to mountains to cities and beyond.
Driven by passion and curiosity, Projet Paysage continues to dream big and build spaces that meet today’s needs and anticipate tomorrow’s challenges.
Our Principals
Take the measure of a landscape from its entirety to the finest detail. Bring out the best of a site’s unique features and characteristics while adapting each project to meet its functional, experiential, financial, aesthetic, and environmental needs. Provide attentive service and maintain genuine relationships. Since taking over Projet Paysage in 2010, Serge and Maxime have prioritized this ethos. The pair swiftly found common ground in their desire to build projects with a signature blend of bold design and diligence. And their complementary ideas and expertise has equipped them with a versatile approach that constantly pushes the boundaries of landscape architecture.
Serge and Maxime lead a brilliant team that puts the company’s mission into action every day, managing large-scale projects that truly change people’s lives. Their long list of successful projects includes the new Maison de Radio-Canada, the MIL campus of Université de Montréal, and Spa Forëna. Projet Paysage has garnered awards and distinctions that pay tribute to the principals’ unwavering commitment to excellence, design, and quality.
These successes rely on a cherished secret ingredient: collaboration. It’s at the heart of the team’s work ethic and our rapport with colleagues, clients, and loyal partners including architects, urban planners, biologists, engineers, and more.
On a personal note, running is another passion Maxime and Serge share. You might spot them not far from the office, sprinting up Mount Royal – a ritual that spurs their creative process.
