Broadway Market
An exterior architectural rendering precedent for timber market pavilions utilizing sweeping overhanging roof canopies and diagonal structural supports.
- What we like about this project
- Massive diagonal timber brace that bursts out from the main entrance threshold to hold up the canopy.

- Geometry
- Low-slung pavilion massing featuring an exaggerated, sweeping overhanging timber roof supported by diagonal glulam columns.
- Facade system
- Full-height glazed storefront systems set within a timber structural frame.
- Structural guess
- Heavy timber post-and-beam construction with diagonal glulam braces supporting a long-span roof deck.
- Spatial scale
- Single-story commercial pavilion scale dominated by a vast overarching roof structure.
- Lighting
- Warm morning sunlight catching the edge of the roof canopy, casting long soft shadows across the public realm.
- Atmosphere
- Welcoming, sun-drenched public atmosphere framed by warm timber and open sky.
- Environmental context
- Urban public square with scattered pedestrians and mature trees framing the market entrance.
- Spatial experience
- Approaching from the open public plaza moves from the expansive sky into the protected, human-scaled shade of the deep roof overhang.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating vertical window mullions counterbalanced by the dynamic sweeping curve of the roofline.
