The Wave: A unique and refreshing spot on St-Denis Street in Montreal

(Project by ARCADIA Studio, now EVOQ Landscape)

Replacing five parking spaces, The Wave (La Vague) was a temporary installation that extended a section of sidewalk along St-Denis Street to create a fun spot for socializing or taking a break. 74 wooden frames painted in various shades of blue were laid out to evoke a wave pattern and then inlaid with 45 user-activated misters to create a refreshing summer escape in the heart of downtown Montreal!
