Wurundjeri
Victorian
This restoration project has carefully repaired and refurbished Queen Victoria Market’s open-air sheds, providing a new, insulated roof and upgrading the services to improve the market experience for both traders and visitors.
NH, working with Trethowan Architecture, undertook a full, component by component structural review of the shed structures, repairing and strengthening each individual column, beam, and truss. We sensitively integrated a structural system to support a new, insulated roof, replacing the original roofing whilst maintaining the same appearance and improving the structural integrity by adding new members into the existing structure.
Underground trenches were introduced to the hold essential services, increasing the reliability of utilities for traders and improving the market’s overall functionality.
NH worked closely with City of Melbourne, Queen Victoria Market and Heritage Victoria to restore this National and Victorian listed heritage site to maintain its intrinsic and intangible value and ensure its longevity into the future.
