Spitalfields

The redevelopment of the culturally significant Spitalfields Market included the design of several island bars and restaurants, along with the reorganisation of drainage and perimeter buildings and high-level link bridges. The aim was to work with our client to reinvigorate the market, and create a characterful village atmosphere with a premium architectural finish. Each island was constructed on rafts with timber and steel connected with a number of high-level bridges and long span stairs. We worked closely with the architects and English Heritage to agree the remedial works and also determine roof modifications – the market also remained in use during the operation.
