Skylights are spread across the roof of the indoor market providing natural light to the space. The scale of these skylights also helps to reduce energy costs.

Greenhouse windows contain Integrated Photovoltaics to provide energy for use in the building. Operable windows are arranged through out the greenhouse to encourage the stack effect helping to control indoor temperature. The excess heat gain can assist in heating the market in the winter

Using hydroponics in the greenhouse is an alternative to conventional growing techniques. Plants are fed by a continuous flow of solution culture contained within column structures and sloped culture trays. This system excludes light to prevent algae growth in the water. Water collected on site is recycled into this system as well. V

Vendor Stall Detail: This flexible space is adaptable to the Buffalo climate. In the winter, the stalls are closed off from the outside to keep heat in - they can then be accessed from the interior. In the summer, the stalls unfold opening the building into an outdoor market.

This building functions as a year-round market. The main floor consists of a flexible market, greenhouse, bookstore, florist and restaurant. Food can be grown continuously throughout the year in the greenhouse and seasonally on the green roof. Food produced in the greenhouse is served at the inhouse restaurant and cafe. The greenhouse continues through the second floor adjacent to the cafe and is set back 12’ from the facade to provide an exterior dining space.

The main water reservoir collects runoff from the site and is then filtered through a natural treatment system and pumped into the building for the hydroponic greenhouse.

Porous pavers are used in the parking lot to replace typical asphalt. This grassy parking lot doubles as a greenspace creating a place for the community to use during non-business hours. An integrated drainage system sends water to reservoirs for grey water reuse. This system also minimizes contributions to the urban heat island effect.

GREEN ROOF

Two separate structural systems are used in the building. The vendor spaces and cafe/bookstore are supported by wood glulams and trusses. The greenhouse is supported by steel I-beams which are better suited for greenhouse construction.

Structurally Insulated Panels with a recycled wood rain screen make up the wall system except for the greenhouse. The SIP’s provide better insulation than conventional 2x4 construction.

Intensive green roof is used as a seasonal growing space. It reduces the heating and cooling load on the building and stores storm water runoff while reducing the urban heat island effect.

Country-wide, 38.6M pallets are sent to the landfill annually. Recycled pallets have a lower moisture content, eliminating mold, warping, and deflection. Using a product that is normally thrown out is a green alternative and adds a nice aesthetic to the building.

The stepping of the building allows for Northern light to enter the space through bands of horizontal windows.

The modular vendor stalls are constructed from refurbished wood pallets. Each stall contains 8 panels that fold down to create tables for the goods being sold. During the summer months the vendor stall unfolding is intensified puncturing the building to create an outdoor market. Interior and exterior blend allowing the building to become porous; filtered by people, air, views, and light.
