DISTRITO MERCADO: MASTER PLAN FOR 3 MARKETS
The Distrito Mercado project reimagines private market infrastructure in Olintepeque, Ostuncalco, and San Mateo, creating modern, efficient, and community-driven commercial hubs. Each master plan responds to the specific urban, social, and economic needs of its location, fostering sustainable growth and enhanced market experiences.
Designed for flexibility and adaptability, these markets feature modular vendor spaces, intuitive circulation, and strategically zoned areas for retail, food, and services. The layouts optimize spatial efficiency, ensuring a seamless flow for vendors and visitors alike while accommodating future growth.
Sustainability is a core principle, with passive design strategies such as natural lighting, cross-ventilation, and rainwater harvesting reducing environmental impact. Waste management systems and energy-efficient infrastructure further support the long-term viability of these markets.
Beyond commerce, the project strengthens the social and cultural role of markets by integrating public gathering spaces, shaded walkways, and areas for local artisans and food vendors. These elements reinforce the markets as lively, inclusive centers of daily life.
By balancing tradition with innovation, Distrito Mercado preserves local commercial customs while introducing modern efficiencies and architectural solutions. The design respects the character of each town, ensuring that the markets remain authentic and deeply connected to their communities.
As a catalyst for economic development, Distrito Mercado promotes sustainable business growth, strengthens local supply chains, and enhances accessibility for both vendors and consumers. These master plans set a new benchmark for market infrastructure in Guatemala, fostering dynamic and resilient commercial spaces.
