"Thread has designed and delivered the transformative regeneration of a historic market site in Redruth, Cornwall. The works breathe new life into Buttermarket, a historic town-square-style site, preserving its character while creating a welcoming community space for artists, food entrepreneurs, and the local community. Located in Redruth, Buttermarket comprises five Grade II-listed buildings surrounding a large central courtyard."
"Text description provided by the architects. Thread revitalises historic Buttermarket into arts-led community hub in Cornwall. Originally established in 1825 as a place for agricultural sellers and market stalls, layers of extensions and additions obscured the Buttermarket's architectural character over time, and the site had fallen into significant disrepair."
Thread designed and delivered the transformative regeneration of Buttermarket in Redruth, Cornwall. The site comprises five Grade II-listed buildings around a large central courtyard. Originally established in 1825 for agricultural sellers and market stalls, the complex accumulated extensions that obscured its architectural character and fell into significant disrepair. The works preserve and reveal historic character while creating a welcoming arts-led community hub. The redevelopment provides studios and spaces for artists, supports food entrepreneurs, and encourages local community use. Conservation of listed fabric and sensitive adaptation enabled reuse while maintaining the site's town-square-scale presence.
