A reception lounge with a red umbrella and white chairs
Our shared reception and lounge bring a relaxed corner into your working day, with white chairs beneath a red umbrella, green turf and plants beside the reception counters. It’s a place to pause between tasks or settle into an informal conversation, with natural light coming through the glass on the left. Our onsite staff and shared spaces make this Griffintown workspace a comfortable base for freelancers, entrepreneurs and professionals working away from home.
With our hot desks and day passes, you can fit the workspace to your routine. A day pass gives you single-day access to our open-concept space, gigabit internet and artisanal coffee. For a regular rhythm with flexible seating, our month-to-month hot-desk membership lets you choose an available workstation or lounge seat each visit, with high-speed Wi-Fi, kitchen access and refreshments included. You have room to focus, then take a break in the shared lounge without leaving the workspace.
About this photo
Foreground: white lounge chairs beneath a red umbrella
The first thing that draws the eye in this photograph is the red umbrella extending across the upper left of the room. Its canopy sits at an angle, with dark ribs visible underneath. A slender pole reaches down to a round base on the floor, anchoring the umbrella beside the seating. The strong red colour stands out against the white ceiling, pale flooring and white furniture.
Below it, white lounge chairs sit on a rectangular patch of green turf. Their low seats, curved backs and broad legs give this part of the room a relaxed appearance. The chairs are angled toward the open area between them, creating a small seating arrangement within the larger interior. The green surface provides a clear visual boundary without using a wall or a raised platform.
The turf reaches toward the bottom edge of the photograph, where its textured surface contrasts with the smoother floor around it. At the far left foreground, tall ornamental grasses rise from a dark planter that is partly cropped by the frame. Another tuft of greenery stands near the black column behind the chairs. Together, the umbrella, turf and plants give the seating area an outdoor-inspired character while keeping it firmly within the room.
Middle ground and background: glass, counters and displays
Moving from left to right, the photograph shows a glazed area with dark window and door frames. Beyond the glass, trees and greenery are visible. Inside this section, a tall table stands beside stools with dark seats and reflective metal bases. The height of this furniture creates a contrast with the low lounge seating in front of it.
A glass doorway sits farther back on the left, beside the first white counter. Its transparent panels let the view continue into the adjoining area. The dark framing outlines the entrance clearly against the bright surfaces around it. This part of the photograph gives a useful sense of how the lounge connects visually with neighbouring spaces.
Across the middle of the room, white reception counters carry narrow black display shelves. Brochures and booklets stand upright along these shelves, with their covers facing outward. Small plants add green accents among the printed materials. The counter closest to the glass doorway sits partly behind the umbrella pole, while another occupies the space beside the central black column.
That column rises from floor to ceiling and has a broad dark surround at its top. It is one of the strongest vertical elements in the photograph, separating the glass-fronted area on the left from the counters and rear wall on the right.
Along the back wall, a horizontal row of screens displays photographs of landscapes and greenery. Below them, small potted plants sit on a white ledge. Farther right, a long, narrow work surface runs against the wall. The large white counter in the right foreground has its own brochure shelf, with printed material and a small plant arranged across it. Behind this counter, a dark chair is partly visible.
Materials, colour and light
The room brings together a small set of contrasting colours: white, black, green and red, with pale wood tones underfoot. White dominates the counters, lounge chairs, ceiling and much of the wall space. Black appears in the columns, window frames, umbrella supports and brochure shelves. These darker elements give definition to the room’s mostly light surfaces.
The floor has a light wood appearance, with long lines running across the open area in front of the counters. Behind the counters, a darker floor surface marks the rear section of the room. The green turf introduces another distinct texture, making the lounge easy to pick out from the surrounding circulation space.
Light enters through the glazing on the left. Bright rectangular ceiling panels provide additional illumination, while a warm strip of light follows the recessed ceiling edge above the umbrella. The ceiling itself is divided into large rectangular panels, giving the overhead surface a regular pattern.
These different sources of light reveal the shapes of the furniture and keep the brochure displays visible. The white counters have broad, uncluttered front panels, so their dark shelves and colourful booklet covers are easy to notice. The photograph’s wide view also captures the ceiling and floor together, helping a prospective visitor understand the room’s proportions and how its main elements relate.
A lounge within the wider coworking space
The layout places informal seating beside reception counters and printed information. For someone considering a visit, this combination offers a view of a shared arrival and lounge area at 2727 Coworking. The chairs provide a place to sit, while the display shelves make brochures a visible part of the room.
The umbrella and turf distinguish the lounge from the more structured counter area. Their placement creates a recognisable seating zone, with open flooring around its edges. A visitor can see where the seating ends and the surrounding room begins without having to interpret a complicated arrangement of furniture.
This is the kind of setting that suits a brief pause or an informal conversation. The low chairs give the seating area a different posture and feel from the tall table on the left. Someone comparing coworking spaces can use this photograph to assess whether that mix of lounge furniture, greenery and reception displays appeals to them.
The wider offering at 2727 Coworking includes private offices, dedicated desks, hot desks and day passes. There is also a bookable conference room, along with virtual mailbox and business address services. Those options give visitors several ways to use the coworking, depending on whether they need an ongoing workspace, an occasional desk, a meeting room or an address service.
This gallery view contributes to that decision by showing the character of a shared interior. Its most distinctive features are easy to identify: the red canopy, white lounge seating, green turf, glass partitions and brochure-lined counters. Together, they give a concrete impression of the surroundings a visitor may want to explore when arranging a visit.
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 address provides the geographical context for this interior photograph and a practical reference for anyone planning to visit.
The coworking is in Walter sur Atwater, a modern building built in 2014. Inside this gallery view, glass partitions, broad white counters and a panelled ceiling form the architectural backdrop to the lounge. The outdoor-inspired furnishings add colour and texture within that contemporary setting.
For a prospective member or day-pass visitor, the photograph helps connect the address with an identifiable interior. The canal-side location places the coworking within its Montreal neighbourhood, while the image shows the seating, displays and finishes inside. Looking at both the location and the room’s visible features can help visitors decide whether to explore the workspace further.
