A civic space designed for flexibility, enclosure, and everyday use
London, United Kingdom


At The Merchant Building in Columbus, designed by MKSK, this legacy is translated into a contemporary architectural setting. Open layouts, clear circulation, and a strong connection between indoor and outdoor spaces create an inviting environment that encourages movement, interaction, and gathering. The market offers space for connection and spontaneous interaction—a place where people come together, discover products, and experience local culture firsthand. This openness and authenticity make North Market a key part of urban life. Furnished with Vestre’s BLOC, APRIL and STRIPES collections, the space is further activated through clearly defined seating areas that naturally integrate into the surroundings and invite people to pause, meet, and relax. In this way, North Market continues to serve not only as a place of commerce, but as a social hub where community unfolds every day.
