Our history

The emergence of Atelier Novako

Our story begins in 2021, in the midst of a pandemic, when we three friends share a common dream of redefining modern architecture. Initially working separately in different architectural firms, we began to realize small projects together. Over time, our ambitions grew, and Atelier Novako was born.

Our approach is based on solid values: ecology, human well-being, respect and transparency. We create authentic relationships with our customers, and build lasting friendships within our team and with our partners. We are passionate about breaking traditional architectural patterns by creating spaces that are beautiful, functional and adapted to our clients’ needs. For us, architecture isn’t just about design, it’s above all a human adventure.

Founding partner

Rémi

Where you see obstacles, Rémi sees opportunities. Originally from Abitibi-Témiscamingue, and with a solid background in Western Canada, he has a knack for turning challenges into solutions. For him, “The Sky is the Limit” and his philosophy is reflected in every project he touches. His bold approach lends a unique flavor to your projects. His secret recipe? Optimized, precise and user-friendly management methods. And believe us, you’ve never seen anyone so passionate about pastry.

After architecture, Rémi developed a passion for the art of the table. So he’ll often serve up food analogies. His favorite question to illustrate well-calculated audacity: “Why settle for a filter coffee when you can taste the espresso corto that will give you a real experience?” Generous with his time and talents, Rémi will deliver your dream project on a silver platter with (quite possibly) a sample of his latest batch of homemade pastries!

Louis-Philippe

Does your project seem like a mountain to you? Keep calm and let the artist take care of everything. Louis-Philippe is a design mastermind. He got his start on construction sites in the West. He knows all about mountains, literally and figuratively! Whether the task is the size of Everest, Mount Royal or the mound of gravel on your property, L-P will turn it into nothing less than the eighth wonder of the world.

His charming obsession: devouring all the information he can get his hands on, synthesizing and recombining it to deliver “ze” masterpiece. When you catch L-P peacefully smashing his pencils (or yours), rejoice! It’s a sign that he’s in his creative zone, busy bringing your project to life. Don’t disturb him. Instead, go buy yourself some new pens and hide them.
