@CLUBLAVOUTE. UNDERGROUND YOUR POSH.

__

This American-style skyscraper, with its modern structure and equipment, is clad in a s tone envelope, the composition of which recalls various distant pasts. The pedestal refers to three stylistic influences. In the first place, its shape and its three high round-arched openings evoke the Florentine palaces of the Renaissance. Secondly, the broken extra dos of these arches, in the Gothic spirit, recall the medieval epoch of Florence. Finally, at the top of the pedestal, the neoclassical inspired colonnade evokes Roman Antiquity, like the pilasters at the summit of the median section of the tower, which is more austere than the pedestal. This learnedly eclectic his toricism, resulting from the combination of elements inspired by different reference periods, was one of the architectural approaches in vogue in North American down town cores of the 1920s. Installed at 360 Saint-Jacques in 1928, the Royal Bank headquartered vaults mythiques are remixed in 2017 in to the most posh able progressive house music club. Bring your renaissance to the donjon. La Voûte envoûte.
