Boxpark Croydon - exterior

The overarching concept was to create a modern day piazza where people can gather and enjoy themselves with diverse choices in food, drinks, and free events that change every so often. To heighten the social sense in both sensory experience and spatially, multiple entrances on both the ground and the second floor exist so that people can filter through this place from multiple points.

The architects used 96 shipping containers to assemble this market hall, with 4 of the containers remaining completely unaltered. The raw material of the shipping containers also creates a raw aesthetic language to this social place.
