The Buttermarket
The Buttermarket in Redruth, Cornwall, England, is a heritage-led regeneration of five Grade II-listed buildings around a central courtyard. Designed by Somerset-based Thread, a studio specialising in conservation architecture, the transformative regeneration of this historic town square-style site has preserved its character while creating flexible workspaces, food units, and a first-floor gallery. The project offers a sustainable model for community-led regeneration within Redruth’s Conservation Area and Cornwall and West Devon’s UNESCO Mining World Heritage Site.
