The market of traditional crafts in Varaždin is the implementation of the first prize-winning competition solution, where a special relationship is formed between the market and the mobile modular kiosk and the baroque city center. The openness of the space to the streets is maintained by installing six modules that fit unobtrusively into the market and, with the additional installation of movable elements, enable the flexibility of the space, which is designed according to needs. Due to durability and sustainability, the basic frame of the kiosk is made of steel, while the rest is made of wood.
