MARKET HALL LOFTS
arch 584 | winter 11
Situated in Portland’s Old Town/Chinatown Historic District, this mixed-use project aims to revitalize the area by including a public market hall in the program, as well as lofts, a restaurant, and a lounge. The Simon facade, the remains of a Richardsonian Romanesque structure, is treated as an urban artifact; the project aims to respect it, as well as the historic neighborhood, by implementing appropriate massing.
