The brick building and courtyard setting of 2727 Coworking

A green foreground framed by leaves

The photograph begins with a broad stretch of grass across the foreground. Sunlight catches the lawn, bringing its green colour into clear contrast with the darker windows and the red brick above. The grass extends toward a paved strip at the foot of the building, creating a distinct boundary between the planted ground and the outdoor furniture.

Along the left edge, leafy branches partly frame the view. Some leaves are brightly lit, while others sit in shadow. Thin, bare stems extend upward through this foliage, adding a lighter network of lines against the building. This close vegetation gives the photograph depth: the leaves are nearest to the camera, the lawn opens beyond them, and the building rises behind both.

For someone considering 2727 Coworking, this is an introduction to its building setting at 2727 rue Saint-Patrick. The photograph brings the outdoor surroundings into view, with grass, foliage and the lower façade sharing the frame.

Outdoor furniture along the ground floor

Beyond the lawn, a paved area runs along the building. A wooden picnic table with attached benches sits toward the left, close to the ground-floor windows. Its warm brown colour stands out against the grey wall and pavement. Farther right, outdoor chairs are spaced along the same strip, with slatted backs and angled seats that are easy to distinguish against the glass behind them.

The furniture follows the line of the façade. Rather than sitting in the middle of the grass, the table and chairs occupy the harder surface between the lawn and the building. Their placement makes the arrangement easy to read: green space in front, seating behind it, and windows immediately beyond.

Large panes of glass stretch across much of the ground floor. They reflect trees and patches of green, connecting the building visually with the courtyard. Narrow gravel areas beside the paving introduce another texture at ground level. Together, the lawn, paving and furniture establish the scale of the lower part of the photograph before the eye moves upward.

Looking from the left wing to the upper balconies

On the left, the building turns toward the camera. This angled section has red brick walls above a grey ground-floor base, with balconies projecting from the upper levels. Dark balcony frames and glass panels create horizontal lines across the brick. The change in direction gives the view a sense of enclosure, with adjoining façades facing the green foreground.

Moving toward the centre, tall window columns alternate with recessed balconies. Brick piers separate these vertical sections, giving the façade a regular rhythm. The balcony openings are darker than the sunlit walls, so their depth is especially noticeable. Glass railings catch reflections and highlights along their edges.

Plants add detail to some balconies. Hanging baskets are visible near the lower centre, while greenery on a balcony farther right trails downward over the railing. These small patches of foliage echo the larger greenery below.

At the right edge, the building falls into deeper shade. A narrow band of blue sky appears above the roofline, completing the upward view from lawn to ground floor, balconies and sky.

Brick, glass and stone in direct sunlight

The main materials are immediately recognisable: red brick across the upper façade, grey stone at ground level, and glass in the windows and balcony railings. Each responds differently to the light. The brick has a warm, textured appearance, with horizontal mortar lines visible across the walls. The stone base has larger blocks and a rougher surface.

Glass introduces cooler colours. Upper windows reflect blue tones from the sky, while lower panes pick up green from the courtyard. Dark frames outline the glazing and help organise the façade into clear rectangular sections. The transparent balcony panels also allow plants and objects behind them to remain partly visible.

Strong sunlight and shade shape the whole composition. Bright brick faces sit beside dark balcony recesses, and the right side is substantially more shaded than the centre. Across the bottom, sunlit grass contrasts with the shadowed ground-floor glazing. These differences make the building’s projecting and recessed elements easier to follow and give a clear sense of its depth.

How this exterior relates to the coworking

This photograph shows the setting of 2727 Coworking in Walter sur Atwater, a modern building completed in 2014. Its focus is the relationship between the building and the courtyard: tall façades above, a strip of outdoor furniture at their base, and an open lawn in front. For a prospective visitor, those visible features provide a useful impression of the surroundings at the address.

The table and chairs introduce a human scale beneath the upper storeys. Their familiar shapes make the ground-level arrangement easy to understand, while the repeated windows and balconies draw attention to the building as a whole. Someone browsing the gallery can use this view to become familiar with the exterior before planning a visit.

2727 Coworking offers private offices, dedicated desks, hot desks, day passes, a bookable conference room, and virtual mailbox or business address services. A private office supports someone seeking a separate workspace; a day pass suits a shorter visit; and a conference room booking serves a meeting. This exterior view places those offerings within their building setting and complements the workspace photographs in the gallery.

The Griffintown and Lachine Canal setting

2727 Coworking is located at 2727 rue Saint-Patrick in Montreal, Quebec, in the Griffintown neighbourhood beside the Lachine Canal. That location provides the wider context for the photograph. The view concentrates on the building and its green courtyard, with the red brick façade occupying most of the image.

Walter sur Atwater’s modern exterior gives the address a clear visual identity. The combination of brick, large windows and glass-fronted balconies is particularly easy to recognise in this view. At ground level, the grey stone and reflective glazing form a continuous base beneath the warmer upper walls.

For someone comparing places to work in Griffintown, the photograph adds a concrete picture of the surroundings to the practical choice of an office, desk or meeting room. It shows how greenery, outdoor furniture and the building sit together at courtyard level. The Lachine Canal location completes that context, connecting this close view of the façade with the coworking’s place in Montreal.
