Atelier Boom-Town, led by architect Eric Joseph Tremblay, proposes a re-reading of the architecture of buildings on a human scale, working with space, light and materials, based on the original principles of boom-town buildings.

Historically, a Boomtown house is associated with the “mushroom” towns of 1890-1920 created near industrial complexes and mines. It is easily recognised by its simple facade and square shape. Its roof is flat, or almost flat, which was an innovation for the time. The popularity of the Boomtown house was mainly due to its larger space and low construction cost.

A century later, l’atelier Boom-Town proposes a re-reading of building architecture on a human scale, based on the original principles of the Boomtown house. Today, they are inspired by the simplicity and efficiency of these buildings to design contemporary dwellings that, through architecture that is as innovative as it is contextual, improve their environment and the experience of their users.
