Reconstruction of a historic ice house building into a marketplace, transforming the industrial heritage structure into a community and cultural center with market functions.
The project involves the reconstruction of a former ice house into a marketplace. The concept takes a simple building volume and transforms it by introducing structural elements and openings that create a vibrant commercial and cultural space. The design preserves the historical character of the building while adapting it for contemporary use as a market hall. The facade features a distinctive pattern of corten steel panels with geometric cutouts that reference the original industrial architecture. The interior is organized as an open market space with flexible vendor stalls and public gathering areas. The project includes site planning with surrounding landscape and pedestrian connections.
Materials include corten steel facade panels with geometric perforations, prefabricated concrete structural elements, integrated building services within structural columns, a Renaissance-style building frame, monoblock waterproofing systems, and prefabricated ceiling and wall elements. The construction references the manufacturing tradition of Zlín region. Skylights provide natural lighting to the interior market space. Drawings include site plan at 1:800, sections at 1:300, four elevations (east, west, south, north) at 1:300, axonometric view at 1:800, and perspective section.
