This approximately 100m long structure encloses a food market, a pharmacy and a bistro. The logic of its folding continues both on the canopy undersides and on the back of the market.
Similar to an inner lining, in high quality clothing, the materials used here generate a soft and warm interior.
In this way, a spatially exciting and distinctive building is created, which opens up to the surroundings on a broad front. The shell is clad with metal and expanded metal. The folded canopy soffit is made of wood. In the market, the three-dimensional wooden structure can be freely seen and experienced.
Thus, the building appears to the outside in metal dress, and inside the material wood leads the visitor.
The wooden construction and the generous integration of photovoltaic surfaces on the roof take into account the sustainability of the building.
