Lemay has won an international competition to redesign the corniches of Morocco?s Casablanca coast, which include the new seaside promenade of the Hassan II Mosque and the Ain Diab corniche. This win reinforces Lemay?s international presence and showcases Quebec?s creativity and design abroad.
Launched by real estate agency Casa Aménagement in June of 2016, the international competition aims to enhance the natural space for the residents of Casablanca, on the edge of the thriving metropolis. New urban and landscape design will promote mobility along the length of the corniche and reinforce the appeal of the Casablanca coast in a spirit of modernity, sustainability and innovation.
