Résidence Les Rosiers

The site, located on hills between the Plombières and Sainte Marthe streams, features the horticultural area of Les Rosiers, which includes pathways, a pond, and an irrigation canal. Urban planning has early on addressed these slopes, exemplified by the construction of the Burel HBM and the Paul Strauss group before the war, under Gaston Castel's direction. Their density likely surprised observers, presenting urban complexes amid rural landscapes. Following the war, the area became the focus of urban extension plans, with Saint Gabriel designated as a public utility zone to accommodate those displaced from the Old Port.
