KOPA / Ivy Studio

archdaily.com·Jun 8, 2026

The Kopa project, designed by Ivy Studio in Montreal, transforms a historic industrial building into a contemporary sports facility featuring athletic courts and hospitality zones, emphasizing a stark contrast between high-volume sports areas and intimate, warmly colored hospitality spaces. The design celebrates the building's industrial heritage while integrating modern amenities and a cohesive color narrative to enhance the user experience.

The KOPA project by Ivy Studio in Montreal exemplifies how strategic use of color blocking and spatial division can redefine industrial architecture for contemporary sports and hospitality uses. By contrasting the expansive, monochromatic sports areas with intimate, richly colored hospitality zones, the design not only enhances functionality but also elevates user experience, making it a compelling example for professionals interested in adaptive reuse and innovative spatial design.
