New marketplace Olomouc

The proposal for the modification of the existing areas of the Olomouc city market is considering a complete reorganization of the individual areas while preserving and strengthening the significance of the old market building. The key elements of the design are universality, openness, a strong and simple concept, low cost, feasibility and a high degree of flexibility.

MULTIFUNCTIONAL AREA
The new solution defines individual zones according to the way of use and new functions. The main advantage of the proposal is the creation of a new multifunctional area directly in front of the old market building. A paved surface with a slight central depression will allow a "big pool of water" to be filled in on hot days for cooling and children's games. In the case of organizing sports or cultural events, the area is free and flexible (fairs, festivals, summer cinema, exhibitions, workshops, etc.). In winter, the area is suitable for the location of an ice rink.

OLD MARKET BUILDING
In the future, we are considering the multifunctional use of indoor spaces (café, restaurant, shops) with an extension to the public space in the form of residential terraces. The building is an important element of the area and a landmark. Currently in a non-functional state.

VEGETABLE MARKETS
Tables prepared for Wednesday and Saturday vegetable sales. Uniform umbrellas, new tables, new surfaces, quality details. Alternatively, roofing with a wooden pergola with an installed photovoltaic power plant as a separate investment event.

STREET FOOD
New refreshment options in the form of outdoor fast food facilities. A wide range of different dishes from small businesses. Variant of renting stands, buying them from the city or importing your own stands if regulations are met.

DRIVING SALE
Vegetable markets are complemented by sellers of typically dairy and meat products from mobile stores. This space is used for parking these vehicles.

PARKING
The reserve area is used as an underground parking lot. In the future, it can be replaced by a parking garage.
