It’s refreshing to see an architect create a glamorous, grown-up, modern co-working space. Designed by architect Henri Cleinge, the Crew Collective headquarters is located in the former Royal Bank on St-Jacques Street in Old Montreal.
It includes office space for a tech startup and a co-working space and café open to the public. The architects incorporated every modern co-working necessity while preserving the original character of the 1926 building.

The building’s existing attributes included an inlay marble floor, an ornate painted plaster ceiling, and custom suspended brass light fixtures and teller stands.

The architects sought to create fluidity between areas designated for permanent Crew employees, co-working stations rented by the week or month, temporary workers, and the café-frequenting public.
