AEdifica
Who we are: AEdifica is a multidisciplinary practice tailored
to deliver creative, strategic, and integrated solutions for the
built and visual environments of organizations driven by
excellence in a world of emerging opportunities.
What we do: At AEdifica we like to put ourselves in our
clients shoes. We think its the right way to set project
goals and objectives. This is why weve become multiple problem
solvers across complementary fields of expertise, providing
support at every stage and for every aspect of projects that
define the 2D, 3D, and virtual environments of our clients. AEdifica works in a fully computerized and networked
environment and makes use of electronic communications and in-
house video conferencing to bridge geographical boundaries and
maintain quality communication links with its client base.
Architecture: Since it was established in 1979, AEdifica has
taken an integrated approach to the built environment. Today,
an extended offer is provided by its staff of architects,
engineers, interior designers, graphic artists and technicians.
The firms services combine creative design, technical expertise
and project management, applied to all projects regardless of
size. The firm is recognized as a leader in the field of green architecture.
Retail Design: Since 1985, AEdifica has helped North-American
retailers launch over 75 new retail concepts and more than 4000
stores on the American and Canadian marketplace. As a result of
this, a strategic network of contacts with key players in the
building, fixturing and real estate industry is constantly being
updated, tailored and put to good use for the benefit and
business success of our clients. From single stores to
extensive roll-out programs, services are adapted to help
companies get to where they want to go, at the speed and budget
that works for them. Within a complex world of new
opportunities, competitive pressure, consumer shifts, and new
technologies, AEdificas mission remains simple: to be partners

Visual Communications: At AEdifica, we believe that the retail
environment is one of the most important tools for managing and
leveraging the brand. This is why we develop designs in support
of branding strategies, creating signage, graphics and the
physical environment with a strong and consistent store image in
mind.
Our value added services extend to the virtual environment,
providing our clients with internet strategies with high visual
impact, sharpening their competitive edge as they shape the
visitors perception of the brand.
Office Environments: In addition to user needs studies and the
programming and planning of spaces, AEdifica applies its
expertise related to the management of corporate identity in its
office design strategies. The personality of an enterprise, its
culture and its positioning in the market become key points of
reference permitting the calibration of the space to the
clients image. Parallel to this, the firms expertise in
architecture and engineering gives it the capacity to offer
fully integrated services.

21 engineers, designers, and technicians, based in both Montreal

focused, responding to needs and expectations from the beginning
of the project and as it evolves.
