Chevalier Morales Architectes

In spring 2005, Stephan Chevalier and Sergio Morales joined their strength to create the firm CHEVALIER MORALES ARCHITECTES. Very quickly, they directed their practice towards bold residential projects, an exploration territory for their context dialogue principles and for the sensitive application of sustainable construction as well as visionary proposals for architectural competitions. The latter would turn out to be fruitful by allowing the firm to distinguish itself quickly with a formal research and a tectonic approach based on specific objectives. Their proposal in the international competition for the new Montreal Planetarium (2009) awarded them a highly noticed place as finalists. In 2011, they were laureates of two important competitions: the Maison de la littérature à Québec (House of literature in Québec) and the Saul-Bellow Library in Lachine. They were also laureates of competitions for the Pierrefonds Library (2013) and the Drummondville Library (2014). CHEVALIER MORALES ARCHITECTES’s achievements were the subject of many publications and awards including two (2) Awards of Excellence by the Canadian magazine Canadian Architect for the Maison de la littérature and the Pierrefonds library (2014), and Roy-Lawrence residence (2015).
