Through One of the Arches into the Market Space Below
This building is the first public building to be provided at Poundbury, the Prince of Wales's new village near Dorchester.The brief for the building initially began only requiring
an outdoor covered market space. It became apparent,
as the community grew, that this should be extended
to provide a hall and other services. The solution for
the building based on Italian models placed the function
hall on the first floor and creates a sheltered, undercroft,
ideal for market and outdoor uses below.
