Market Eight stands out for its modern aesthetics and ideas. The project redefines the conventional use of public space, developing with open courtyards and corridors, and stretching out towards the city with a sinuous and captivating design.

Connecting Riads suggestively coils around two semi-public courtyards in a characteristic snake-like volume. A waving height variation, throughout the roof’s plane, also contributes to the impression of a three-dimensional coiling movement, endowing this large complex with a surprisingly lithe and light quality.
