Refurbishment of the Vall Hebron Market

• The intervention aims to improve not only the market itself but also its setting through different transformations. First, the creation of new vehicle accesses independent from the pedestrians', second, a new lift to connect the market with the Carmel neighborhood, and finally, the transformation of Trueba St into slow-traffic pedestrian-friendly street. On the other hand, the loading/unloading area moves to a lower level and the space occupied by it on the street level is used to extend the market surface. The project includes a large vegetable garden on the roof connected to a small restaurant. A new envelope will wrap the market volume providing it with an updated image.
