The lack of healthcare on the Basse-Côte-Nord Territory and the beauty of a landscape teeming with medicinal plants laid the foundation for a project focused on herbalism and horticultural therapy. The project is located in the town of Middle Bay, roughly equidistant from Vieux-Fort and Blanc-Sablon. The intention is to make the project a landmark in the landscape. Osmose is an architectural and landscaping project in which visitors can discover the virtues of medicinal plants. The project is framed by a 15-kilometer medicinal trail in a magnificent tundra that stretches as far as the eye can see. During a medicinal excursion, visitors will be able to discover the beauty of the landscape and pick medicinal plants that can then be prepared at the heart of the architectural project. The trail is guided by minimal infrastructure such as shelters and stairs that make it easier to move from one level to another, softening the intensity of the slopes for walkers. The architectural project itself is developed according to a program of medicinal plant processing and treatment.

On one side, an apothecary, a workshop, a warehouse, a drying room, and a medicinal plant processing laboratory are open to the public. This makes it possible to take charge of the processing of one's own medicinal plants, from harvesting to storage. In addition to the transformation program, there is also a treatment program. The first step in treatment is immersion in nature. The project includes changing rooms where participants can get ready before venturing out into nature for a medicinal walk. In addition, the café is the ideal place to enjoy locally prepared teas. The project also includes a treatment center where you can receive care from professionals such as herbalists and naturopaths. The project adopts materials found in the architecture of the Lower North Shore; cedar shingles and sheet metal roofing balance the architectural language in a way that anchors it in its context while giving the tundra space to express itself as a source of healing.
