Reopening Seven Sisters Indoor Market

Research & strategy
A community-led design project based in Tottenham. We worked with locals, architecture cooperative Unit 38, and Wards Corner Community Society, to pitch ideas to regain the former South American community when the market opens in October 2025. With a great amount of feedback about the lack of children's spaces and the importance of the younger generations using the market space, we pitched a series of third spaces for generations to come together in within the market.
One part of this consisted of a dynamic and modular infrastructure concept, using delivery produce crates. The market's fruit and veg traders receive their produce in crates each morning, and eventually have to pay to get rid of them. This concept reuses them on-site to build a range of social infrastructure from adult and baby sized seating, to games crates, to football goals, and even miniature market stalls for children to play alongside their parents. I designed a range of attachments that fix the crates in various ways to make this possible, and can be constructed by the public themselves.
