Snøhetta completes Muttrah Fish Market in Oman

completed

The Snøhetta-designed Muttrah Fish Market is created to serve as a focal point for the community of Muttrah, while simultaneously functioning as a hub for Oman’s thriving fishing industry. Situated at the heart of Muttrah, on Oman’s largest harbour, the new fish market is a tribute to both the past and the future of Oman. Merging tradition with innovation, the 4,000 square meter fish market is designed to sympathetically unite the old and the new, offering more than 100 fish sellers and cutters, as well as a new market for vegetables and fruit. The new facility also offers refrigeration, packaging, and storage spaces alongside offices, coffee shops, and a rooftop restaurant.
