Openness
Sanxencho, Spain
2020

  • The food market is reconceived as a public space that serves the local community more openly. A porous ground floor and an internal street allow movement through the building throughout the day, drawing people into the market. The building extends vertically to take advantage of the sea vista: a translucent canopy with a green roof houses a restaurant with sweeping views. The proportions, heights and roof forms of the neighbouring buildings articulate the building’s form.
