Text description provided by the architects. Sid Lee Architecture was asked to create the architectural designs for Bota Bota, spa-sur-l'eau, a modern twist on the traditional urban spa. This ambitious project, led by the Émond family—also owners of Balnea spa, located in Bromont-sur-le-Lac—is now up and running, following a whirlwind two-year adventure. Located at the foot of rue McGill in the Old Port of Montreal, Bota Bota is the new name given to a ferryboat that used to link Sorel and Berthier in the 1950s and that's been renovated into a floating Scandinavian spa. The boat's architecture, redesign and visual identity are the fruit of a collaborative effort between Sid Lee Architecture and Sid Lee.
