• Restrooms shall be provided using a single portable trailer.
PROCESS
The design for the Shipping Container Market was focused around three core elements visibility, spatial economy, and environmental stewardship.
The limited flexibility of the containers form drove the angled typology. This promotes frontage to the street as the containers needed to be stacked towards the rear of the site to allow truck access to the front. Final plans for the containers will drive any final spatial layout of the structures. The current design leaves opportunity for tertiary storage space in the voids created at the rear of the containers before the perimeter fence.
Pedestrian access will be maintained at 6’-0” minimum around the site helixing around two central shade trees. Semi-permanent seating is proposed under the front shade tree to aid circulation leaving the rear tree open to temporary tables and chairs as needed.
The site has been designed to drain to two raingardens either side of the main entrance and shall act as a catchment for all on site storm water.
