Text description provided by the architects. Thread revitalises historic Buttermarket into arts-led community hub in Cornwall. 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. 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.
