PRIVATE TENDER PROJECT

Las Palmas Market - 2017

The sea was an element that united Canarian and Cuban cultures through the migratory movements between these areas. Hence why they have so much in common. At Terria, we have sought to reflect these colonial influences at the Mercado de las Palmas. 

The building's facade is inspired by 18th-century colonial architecture, and the lattice in the garden areas is the classic Treillage, so widely used in the colonies. Exotic vegetation is a key element in providing a very pleasant outdoor feel in this mild island climate.

Certain noble elements give the space a palatial air, such as the antiqued mirrors, the grand staircases, and the black-and-white checkered floor. Other natural elements, like the wicker lamps and abundant vegetation, make it fresh and exotic.

This project was designed in collaboration with Inés Albízuri of AH! Estudio, and architect Jorge Escribano contributed to the design of the facade.
