The approach

two objectives at once

In order to achieve a new found presence in the urban fabric, the design of the year-round market sought to achieve two objectives at once:

  1. 01

    respect the historical qualities of the structures

  2. 02

    add newfound vitality and sophistication to the site and the neighborhood
