10 NEWS RETAIL Proposal co-locates major London markets


Chetwoods Architects’ vision for co- locating Smithfield, Billingsgate and New Spitalfields markets to a new location in east London for The City of London Corporation, has been unveiled. Creating a “21st century wholesale food location for London and the UK,” the scheme looks to provide tenants with modern facilities in a location that offers room for growth. “The development will be built with the


most sustainable materials available, using the latest environmental technology,” said the architects. The buildings will be designed to achieve BREEAM Excellent, and the plans will try to limit the upfront energy during construction and when operational.

A new book published by London-based publisher Laurence King “chronicles the most influential ideas that have shaped


The aim of the project is to create a facility that places the health and wellbeing of occupants and workers at its heart. The early schematic layouts (shown above) will form the basis of an outline planning application to the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham.


The design of each market supports wholesale, retail and process driven activities while allowing for future flexibility to meet demand as required. A multi-deck yard will provide parking spaces for vans and cars at the front and rear, which allows for the separation of vehicles with HGV deliveries taking place to the rear at ground floor level.

Starting with the basic building components of “door, window, column and beam” and the classical orders, the book explores historical movements such as the Picturesque and Beaux-Arts, modern materials such as steel and reinforced concrete, and technical innovations such as the lift and electric lighting, through to modern movements


A green corridor to the west of the site links the scheme to the existing public transport network and the River Thames. From this route, visitors will be able to access three individual market entrances. These entrances lead to an atrium, which provides daylight to the market below and connects to an entrance to the east of the site. All three atria will also serve as renewable energy generators, harnessing solar power through photovoltaic panels. The schematic layouts have also been designed to adapt to the ever-changing demands of the retail market, with the potential introduction of a mezzanine level providing space for a future retail offering.

This book is written by Richard


Weston, an architect, landscape designer and author, who was professor of architecture at Cardiff University. Arranged in a “broadly chronological


order,” the ideas are presented through “informative text and arresting visuals, exploring when each idea first evolved and the subsequent impact it has had, up to the present day.”
