The Tire Shop Project

The Tire Shop is MARK+VIVI's inaugural project located in the transitioning city of Verdun, Quebec. The renovated 800 sq.ft space, a former tire shop, functioned as the designers’ live/work studio and housed La Façade Art + Architecture, a storefront gallery dedicated to the exhibition of local contemporary art and experimental architecture.

Originally built in 1920, the Tire Shop’s exposed structure supports the playful integration of simple, raw, industrial materials with smart and efficient design.
