The Bazaar was conceived as a study for a local non-profit seeking to create a destination food market and economic incubator for the community. Recalling Middle Eastern antecedents, the Bazaar is organized in a series of vaulted bays, each with a unique programmatic focus. Taking advantage of its site on an existing in-use parking lot, the building is designed to open to the exterior in warmer weather, with plantings, lighting and graphics setting the stage for a weekend outdoor market.
