muf – working with Arup – was commissioned to propose improvements to Whitecross Street market and the immediate surrounding area. Through ongoing dialogue with traders and residents muf made proposals for a 1.8 metre strip of granite to run the entire length of the street along the market’s historic kerb line. The strip demarcates the licensed area for trade accommodating the practices of existing stall holders but also allows for the transition of the market and its uses within the flexible space of the strip.
