Architecture Design
Our approach
People are at the heart of the creative process. We design for and with people to create environments where people feel deeply at home. From the outside in, we think as a collective to create, build and imagine perfectly integrated human experiences. Our experience in the various spheres of architecture enables us to develop concepts that tell a story, that stick to the brand without compromising it.
We listen to our clients and all the stimuli that surround a creation, so as to design welcoming spaces that blend into their environment. From the outset, our approach is rigorous. We identify the constraints we'll face so we can master and anticipate them, and thus propel the project forward. Our experience and commitment enable us to go the extra mile to deliver quality results.
Listening to nurture creativity
To work well together, we need to understand each other, forge bonds and develop mutual understanding. We know that our strength is rooted in our ability to listen to our clients, to read between the lines and hear even the silences. Understanding our clients' DNA is the key of our success.
We create to make a difference
Our collective approach comes into its own during the creation phase. That's when it really shows its value. From Day 1 our professionals work together to create an all-encompassing experience that makes all the difference.
We deliver high quality results
We pride ourselves on delivering on time and on budget. But above all, to deliver results that live up to our promises and our customers' expectations.
Architecture Design
Building is not just a way of bringing dreams to reality, it's a sensitive way of leaving one's mark.
Together, we push ourselves to evolve, consistently drawing out the strengths of the context to fully unlock its potential.
Why work with our professionals?
Our teams of designers, architects and technologists work together on the visible and the invisible with the same rigor and attention to detail from start to finish, whatever the scale of the project. At the table, there's no working in silos and, above all, no egos. We create, we build and we deliver, all with the same objective in mind: to design a unique universe for our clients, without losing sight of the reality of the project and the people for whom it is intended.
Stored within our subconscious, countless images give life to concepts rich in emotion, telling a story inspired by the brand's essence, the location, and the people who bring it to life. Every project is therefore unique.
A collective strength
Our team’s multidisciplinary expertise comes to life in the creative process. Composed of skilled and inspired professionals, we bring out the best in each other’s talents and creativity through collaboration. In partnership with our clients, all of our creative forces unite with one aim: Alongside our clients, all of our creative efforts unite with one aim: to astonish, inspire, and push the limits to craft an exceptional space.

Our story
Today, with offices in Quebec City, Montreal and Ottawa, the firm enjoys a strong reputation in the architecture and interior design industry. Since its foundation, LemayMichaud has been able to count on a loyal clientele and a group of professionals who share its vision and values.
The company's longevity can be explained by the simple fact that its principals have always taken care of creating living environments with and for people, focusing projects on the well-being of their users. This sensibility, combined with expertise in architecture, interior design and graphic design, has enabled us to develop inspired, fully integrated universes since 1979.
Where it all began
Alain Lemay and Viateur Michaud met while studying in Quebec City.
Some 4 years after, having not seen each other since university, Mr. Michaud asked Mr. Lemay one evening: "So, when are we going to join forces? Having understood his intention before even declaring it, Mr. Lemay shared the same vision.
Complementing each other, they joined forces in 1979 to found LemayMichaud in Quebec City. The Montreal office followed in 1984, and the Ottawa office in 2019.
