The Market Hall, a sustainable combination of food,
leisure, living and parking, will be realized as a new urban
typology at the place where Rotterdam was founded, near the
historic Laurens church.

Fully integrated to enhance and use the synergetic possibilities
of the different functions, an arch of 228 apartments will create a
large hall which houses 100 market stalls, shops and restaurants,
1,200 parking spaces and an underground super market.

The apartments will all have a balcony on the outside and a
window to the inside of the market. Insulation will prevent any
unwanted effects.

The 40 meter tall and wide opening of the front and back will be
covered with a flexible suspended glass facade, allowing for
maximum transparency and a minimum of structure. The interior of
the arch will display market produce.

The project is part of the current regeneration of Rotterdam's
post war center.
