Overview
Tidewell Partners asked Solum to give a disused industrial hall a second life as a market for independent food, craft, and local culture.

Duration
20 months
The Challenge
The hall had generous volume but no clear address, no comfortable route through it, and a patchwork of later additions that obscured its original structure.
The project needed to feel energetic without becoming noisy. We wanted to preserve the hall’s roughness while making it comfortable for long visits, clear for first-time visitors, and adaptable as tenants and uses change over time.
The solution
We cleared the plan back to its structural frame and inserted a continuous market loop that lets visitors discover the building gradually.
A restrained family of counters, canopies, and signs gives each vendor a distinct presence while keeping the overall room coherent. New openings at either end pull the surrounding streets into the hall, turning the market into a daily route rather than a destination used only on weekends.
