project overview
Revitalising the port town with a dynamic, sustainable and inclusive new market
Creating a space for both the local community and visitors to enjoy, we are remodeling the existing Ellesmere Port market building. Its transformation will support the regeneration of the town, offering an improved shopping and leisure experience.
To cater for a diverse range of visitors and boost the economic growth in the town, the market will feature a main dining area and co-working space as well as space for business start-ups, market traders and a variety of events.
In line with Ellesmere Port’s aspirations to be a leading low carbon town, we will improve the market building’s sustainability credentials. This involves integrating passive measures, including improved fabric and glazing, low-energy lighting and enhanced airtightness. To provide sustainable energy for the building, solar panels will sit on the roof.
Promoting inclusivity, accessibility and to create a more enjoyable experience for visitors and families, our design incorporates a children’s play area and a Changing Places standard toilet, a larger accessible toilet for severely disabled people.
Recognising the benefits of bright and open environments, we’ve integrated additional windows into our design to open up and expand the space. This also helps to create a welcoming atmosphere, inviting in an abundance of natural light.
The market is strategically positioned near key transport links, helping to increase town footfall, economic sustainability and create a new gateway to the area.
