A century-old community centre turned vibey food hall is serving up heritage with modernity in Macau’s Unesco World Heritage-listed historic centre
Lying within Macau’s Unesco World Heritage-listed historic centre, Kam Pek Market is part of SJM Resorts’ broader revitalisation plan for San Ma Lo. Breathing new (non-gaming) life into the area honours the terms of the group’s gaming concession contract, and the plan is closely aligned with the Macau government’s Historic District Revitalisation Initiative.
“With San Ma Lo, SJM is trying to create a cultural and culinary landmark destination in Macau as a point of difference from what you typically see in the rest of the city,” says New Zealander Hickling, who set up Linehouse with her Swedish-Chinese business partner, Alex Mok, in 2013. “Kam Pek Market is a community-driven project within that. Our design concept worked with the fabric of the building to tell a story of the past while embracing the future.”
