Dak Dam Market is designed as a dynamic center where local culture and commerce intersect in the heart of Mondulkiri province, Cambodia. Flexible vendor stalls showcase local food and artisan crafts, illuminated by soft natural light, while the layout balances daily needs with the appeal of a tourist destination. The design supports local businesses by keeping operational costs low and allowing for future expansion, with sustainability addressed through shaded areas and natural ventilation. Raised above the ground, the architecture embraces the green landscape with rooftop gardens and lush facades, and its modular structure allows the market to grow or be adapted for other provinces. More than a marketplace, Dak Dam Market creates an immersive experience that connects visitors with nature and the local community, supporting farmers, vendors, and artists across Cambodia.
