Chapel Market

Part 2 Project 2017

This proposal suggests a new type of development for disused urban sites, encouraging small scale characterful development over time for the benefit of the existing community.

The urban blocks of Chapel Market currently consist of large scale, single use buildings resulting in a lack of social interaction and urban life. A framework is proposed to reinstate small plots of a rich mix of uses over time, rejuvenating the urban block.
