aa Market / Vari Architects
aa market is a rooftop lifestyle market initiated, designed, and operated by vari architects in Chongqing. Rather than beginning as a conventional commercial commission, the project grew out of the architects' own daily needs. Located above their studio, it was first imagined as a place where the team, friends, and the surrounding community could eat, drink tea, meet, pause, and spend time together. From this small-scale spatial practice, the project gradually developed into an attempt to reactivate an overlooked rooftop within an industrial park and transform it into a new public interface for everyday urban life.
