A commercial market entrance precedent showcasing a grand glazed steel vault inserted into a traditional brick massing, offering design strategies for transparent threshold spaces and pedestrian arcades.
- What we like about this project
- The large lettering 'HAI MARKET' is suspended mid-air directly across the structural glass plane, adding visual layering.

- Geometry
- Symmetrical composition centered on a large vaulted glazed arcade flanked by low-rise brick volumes, featuring a transparent multi-story threshold opening into a landscaped interior alley.
- Facade system
- Spider-supported structural glass curtain wall within a curved steel pipe space frame, flanked by punched-window masonry walls.
- Structural guess
- Curved structural steel frame supporting a glazed barrel vault with moment-connected portal framing at the entrance.
- Spatial scale
- Large commercial scale with a multi-story vaulted entryway framing a human-scaled pedestrian walkway below.
- Lighting
- Twilight exterior condition with warm interior lighting illuminating the arcade, shops, and central tree planting, contrasting with cool twilight sky.
- Atmosphere
- Welcoming and vibrant, blending industrial steel transparency with warm retail lighting.
- Environmental context
- Urban commercial street edge featuring a reflective water feature in the foreground and surrounding mid-rise urban context.
- Spatial experience
- The deep, vaulted threshold draws pedestrians inward from the open water plaza through a luminous, high-volume arcade toward an interior pedestrian street.
- Composition rhythm
- Bilateral symmetry anchored by a soaring central curved glass arch contrasted against steady horizontal brick wings.
