Angus Muir Design were engaged by Waterfront Auckland, Koko Creative and Fresh Concept to design a set of bespoke market structures for weekly activations at Auckland’s Silo Park.

The design needed to consider the heritage and significance of the location, be highly weather-resistant and allow for multiple configurations.

The resulting design draws on influences found in the surrounding area. The colour palette is drawn from the local environment, the design is reflective of marine influences and construction techniques.  Whilst being unique and colourful the structures provide a uniform market aesthetic that forms the perfect backdrop for weekly markets and activations.

The team leading the design were awarded the Gold Pin at the Design Institute of New Zealand Best Design Awards 2012.
