Modern Planter Installation: Cégep du Vieux Montréal
Montreal, QC
Discover the Cegep du Vieux Montréal project: 17 custom-made aluminum planters in vibrant RAL colors.
Urban Revitalization: Cégep du Vieux Montréal comes alive with Urban Pot
Located in the heart of the Latin Quarter, Cégep du Vieux Montréal is a vibrant hub where stark architecture meets the energy of Montreal's youth. For this terrace revitalization project, the objective was clear: to break the monotony of concrete with a dynamic, sustainable, modern landscape integration.
The challenge: to combine institutional robustness with a playful aesthetic
In urban school settings, furniture must be attractive and withstand heavy use and the rigors of the Quebec climate. The Cégep wanted a structured layout to delineate space and create visual meeting points.
A custom palette for a strong identity
The signature of this project is its bold use of color. Urban Pot created 17 custom-made planters , including:
14 rectangular planters to develop guidelines and circulation zones.
3 monumental circular planters to break the linearity and add softness to the design.
To bring this space to life, specific RAL colors were applied via powder coating, from pigeon blue (RAL 5014) to signal yellow (RAL 1003), including pure orange (RAL 2000) and reseda green (RAL 6011). This interplay of colors transforms the terrace into a stimulating and inspiring environment for students.
Engineering in the service of sustainability
Behind the bright colors lies high-precision manufacturing:
Marine Grade Aluminum (1/8"): The aluminum ensures lightweight roof structures and total rust resistance.
Invisible Weld & Refined Finish: Each joint is carefully ground for a monolithic appearance, a hallmark of the Urban Pot standard.
Intelligent design: The bins have 4-inch feet with internal reinforcements, allowing safe movement with a pallet jack for a flexible layout.
