Place Victoria – Gingerbread Version - A New Montreal Landmark is Born
In 1964 SBSA’s history began with the structural design of Place Victoria. At 47 stories and 624 feet high, the Place Victoria was the tallest office building in Canada at the time, the biggest office complex in the British Commonwealth and the highest reinforced concrete building in the world. It redefined what was possible in concrete construction.
In 2018, SBSA’s evolution continues with the design and construction of an equally challenging and revolutionary project – the 1:175 scale model of Place Victoria in gingerbread construction. At 1.1m high, constructed of 67lbs of gingerbread and 12lbs of icing sugar, using 22 individual panels baked over a period of 3 days in a toaster oven and cut into shape using the latest power tool technology, the gingerbread Place Victoria sets a new standard for the construction of Ginger skyscrapers.
Inspired by the recently completed E-Struxtures data center installations, the ginger bread model incorporates scale roof top units that provide massive ventilation capacity, and uninterrupted power to the gingerbread model.
Other scale touches include a GIANT ginger snowman, realistic landscaping, the 4 architecturally controversial corner columns, and the rarely spotted Santa Claus looking for a chimney on the roof of a skyscraper. SBSA much enjoyed this team challenge for a good cause, the Hôpital du Sacré-Cœur de Montréal, an important teaching and trauma hospital in our community.
