Les Ensembliers
Showrooms
MASTER BUILDERS — Architecture - Design - Construction — The first and only integrated company in the construction industry, Les Ensembliers bring together three entities: an architectural firm, a design agency and a construction company, which are controlled by two shareholders: an architect and a designer. Our team, comprised of architects, designers, technologists, estimators, project managers, craftsmen and accountants, works in constant synergy and has only one objective: to deliver the best possible project with maximum process flexibility. This business model provides customers with all the benefits of true synergy: we are devoted to the project rather than to coordinating stakeholders; the creative process ends when the job ends, rather than before it starts; the budget is adapted to the realities of the construction site, as well as to changing customer needs. This model serves primarily to spread out customer decisions thus accelerating the project by improving its components. The finished project isn’t a mere shadow of the original idea, but the result of a holistic creative process. Ensemblier: A company specializing in the study and implementation of projects that bring together an important and coherent group of players in the construction sector.
Staff
Richard has over 20 years experience in all sectors of design, including fashion, styling, event planning and interior design. Early in his career, he distinguished himself by becoming one of the youngest recipients of the Griffe d'or for his fashion designs. Subsequently, he immersed himself in the world of industrial and urban design. After studying environmental design at the Université du Québec à Montréal, he worked in styling and graphic design as a project manager at an advertising agency. Then, in 2004, he found his true calling as an interior designer. He joined Les Ensembliers as a design partner in 2007. In 2011, he was recognized in Quebec as one of the leaders in his field. His extensive and multidisciplinary design experience with materials, objects, atmospheres and spaces has led him to become a master of his craft, taking the helm of Les Ensembliers as president in 2012.
