The intricately detailed frontage of the Grade II-listed Moorish Market on Fashion Street was one of the few parts of the structure left intact after a major fire destroyed the entire rear section. It dominated the southern side of the street, and we wanted to preserve its special character without trying to replace what had already been lost.
We added a new-build element, detached from the older building with an internal street. Here, old and new are clearly visible, the space bridged to connect the upper levels and with lift cores that are separated out from the main structure.
