Camberwell Fresh Food Markets
This was a major internal refurbishment of the Camberwell Fresh Food Market which included redesigning the facades of all tenancies, rearranging the layout to create an open fruit and veg hall with a central food court, redesigning market entries, creating new public amenties and redoing the floor to make the market fully accessible.
The design creates a pleasant and vibrant market ambiance whilst maintaining familiarity for the existing loyal customer base of this family-friendly community hub.Client:

ABOUT THE PROJECT
Colours and materials take their cue from the market’s mosaic logo and original stained glass windows. Shopfronts receive a mix of traditional patterned and floral tiles in varying shades against a white tile base, with insets of warm ply and pale grey walls, to evoke a cosy, cheerful and lively vibe which is welcoming to all parts of the Camberwell community.
A timber slat bulkhead ties the market together and is a background for new signage and lighting.
At the entries, bright pressed metal feature ceilings and haphazard fluorescent tube lighting welcome in passers-by and establish the market’s identity.
