ITUM Eco-Neighborhood

In collaboration with Atelier Urbain, 2Architectures, and O’yenhra, EVOQ Architecture has developed housing and eco-neighborhood development concepts for the Innu Takuaikan Uashat mak Mani-utenam (ITUM) community. This unique project combines respect for Innu traditions with a response to contemporary challenges related to climate change.

Our proposal is based on three priorities for the community: sustainable development, optimization of interior spaces, and harmony between housing and its outdoor environment. The architectural design aims to minimize the environmental footprint, improve occupant comfort, and reduce energy consumption.

By integrating the cultural values of the Innu community from the design stage onwards, this project demonstrates a sensitive and respectful approach, where architecture becomes a vehicle for preserving identity.
