Le Relais Boréale位于蒙特利尔的Mile-Ex街区，是啤酒爱好者的聚会和品尝之处。本项目是魁北克小型酿酒厂先驱Les Brasseurs du Nord的归乡之作，该公司35年前在该市酿造了第一批Boréale啤酒。希望将自己的的循环酿酒方法融入本项目，这个酿酒公司请来几个街区外的L’Abri团队，设计一个突出企业生态责任和传承当地专业知识的独特场所。

Located in the Mile-Ex neighborhood of Montreal, Le Relais Boréale is a meeting and tasting place for beer lovers. This is a homecoming for Les Brasseurs du Nord, a pioneer of microbreweries in Quebec, which brewed its first Boréale beers in the city 35 years ago. Longing to transpose their circular approach into the project, they brought in the L’Abri team, based a few blocks away, to design a unique venue highlighting eco-responsibility and local know-how.

这座一栋经过WELL建筑认证的小型酿酒厂位于Fabrik8建筑群内的一个角落空间。L’Abri的设计将一个由混凝土和玻璃建造的商业套房改造成一个高效的啤酒厂和一个可容纳60人的温馨餐厅。该布局通过在容纳啤酒桶的冷藏室上方创建一个夹层，以利用建筑的层高。不锈钢发酵罐位于顶部，在巨大的橡木框玻璃墙后面可以看到全景。这一策略优化了生产空间，突出了酿酒厂标志性的金属罐及其昼夜不间断的酿造活动。

The microbrewery occupies a corner space within the Fabrik8 complex, a WELL-certified building. The project designed by L’Abri enabled the transformation of a commercial suite, made of concrete and glass, into an efficient brewhouse and a warm dining room that can accommodate 60 people. The layout takes advantage of the double-height location by creating a mezzanine above the cold chambers containing the beer barrels. The stainless-steel fermenters reside on top, in full view behind a large oak-framed glass wall. This strategy optimizes the production space and highlights the metal tanks and brewing activities day and night.

在品酒室一侧，柜台的圆角柔化了空间线条，让顾客能够在这个流畅的社交空间交谈。带有16个龙头的长吧台是进入啤酒厂过程中的迎宾节点。走向酿造室，游客会发现一张深蓝色的大桌子，这是Boréale的标志性颜色。这件独特的家具在建筑的核心空间唤起Biergartens的传统：邀请人们聚会和分享。室外露台将啤酒厂的活动延伸至外部街道。

On the tasting room side, the rounded corners of the counter soften its lines and allows for customers to sit in a social and fluid way. This long bar, with 16 rows of taps, is the welcoming point when entering the brewery. Towards the brewing room, visitors discover a large dark blue table, the emblematic color of Boréale. At the heart of the project, this unique piece of furniture invites people to meet and share by evoking the tradition of Biergartens. An outdoor terrace extends the activities of the brewery to the street.

本案使用天然材料，如本地木材、当地花岗岩和石灰泥，并配以柔和的灯光，进而营造温暖的餐厅氛围。精选的大型植物，伴随着一堵攀缘藤蔓墙，呼应基址北方的森林，并为有机、人文和社会环境做出贡献。

The use of natural materials, such as native wood, local granite, and lime plaster, as well as soft lighting, contribute to warming the atmosphere of the dining room. A selection of large plants, accompanied by a wall of climbing vines, pays hommage to the boreal forest and contributes to an organic, human, and social environment.

该小型酿酒厂提出了一种对生态负责的设计方法，与一家公司合作，从酿造残留物中回收用过的谷物，将其转化为当地面包店可以使用的的面粉。该项目还以重新利用包括包括酿造罐和其他材料在内的二手设备为特色。设计尊重环境因素，并优先考虑本地制造和采购。

Putting forward an eco-responsible approach, the microbrewery has partnered with a company that recovers spent grains from brewing residues to transform them into flour for local bakeries. The project also features second-hand equipment, including brewing tanks and other materials. The design honours environmental considerations and prioritizes local manufacturing and sourcing.

为了创造独特的家具和照明设备，L’Abri和Construction Modulor联合周边社区有相似价值观的艺术工匠。Studio Botté以升级再利用为核心创作，其设计和制作的灯光作品使用了来自蒙特利尔市的旧灯柱圆顶和酒瓶等元素。桌椅是木工Inat的手工作品，其蓝色部件和户外长椅的木材来自Bois Public，该组织回收和再利用倒下的蒙特利尔白蜡树作为木材。最后，柜台的花岗岩来自距离市区不到3小时车程的采石场。Relais Boréale凭借其本地化的设计，已成为该地区最新的本土旗舰店。

For the creation of unique furniture and lighting, the design-build team of L’Abri and Construction Modulor surrounded itself with artisans from the neighborhood who share similar values. Studio Botté, which creates luminous works from upcycled elements, designed and produced pieces that reuse, among other elements, old lamppost domes from the City of Montreal and liquor bottles. The tables and chairs are handmade creations by woodworker, Inat. The wood used for its blue pieces and the outdoor benches come from Bois Public, an organization that recovers and reuses wood from downed Montreal ash trees. Finally, the granite for the counters comes from a quarry less than 3 hours from the city. The Relais Boréale, with its ultra-local design, has thus become a new homegrown flagship in the neighborhood.
