Working differently

Îlots d’été, an initiative by Aire commune, is rethinking open-air remote work. The goal: to provide accessible and inspiring outdoor work environments right in the heart of the city. In 2025, two new installations will let you work differently in public spaces.

  • GREENDESKING
  • WORKING DIFFERENTLY

Montréal : capital of greendesking

For several years now, Aire commune has helped position Montréal as a North American leader in greendesking. Our mission: to create spaces where work aligns with the city, nature, and a new way of living productivity.

Aire commune is the first open-air coworking and event site to emerge in North America. With years of experience, the team designs outdoor spaces that transform how we work in the urban landscape.

For better workdays
