Markthal

This structure houses 2 distinct main programs. 228 residential units surround and arch over a tunnel like space within, where a marketplace lives. However, this marketplace doesn't only service the tenants but also the public for eating, drinking and shopping.

To gain as much transparency into the marketplace, the architects used steel cable net facade system, which is the largest of its kind in Europe to date. There is also a duality in the main material use as well. The exterior facade is cladded with stone while the inside facade is cladded with vibrant and colorful murals, painted on perforated aluminium panels.
