The proposal provides a vibrant destination for a series of varying food related experiences located under a large unifying roof structure that responds to and mediates the scale of the adjacent Olympic Stadium and Showgrounds venues, while providing the precinct with a recognisable identity from various approach paths.

Organised in a linear arrangement, it introduces a central market street comprising of small scale stalls, a series of specialty food outlets within lightweight structures providing a civic western edge along Olympic Boulevard and a line of low slung restaurants with adjoining sheltered dining areas along the eastern edge, addressing both the market street and Overflow Park. A wine room and fish tank provide identifiable focal points at either end of the proposal, assisting in wayfinding and funneling visitors into the internal market street.
