Hugh A. Boyd, FAIA
Senior Associate

As a Senior Associate of Market Ventures, Inc., Mr. Boyd provides unique expertise in the design and development of public markets. Clients benefit from his ability to identify areas of potential profit, create merchandising concepts, and develop construction budgets based on projects recently implemented. He understands the particular needs of small, independent food retailers and creates design plans that maximize their chance of success, while fulfilling the sponsor's need for people-oriented, active public spaces. He has a thorough understanding of the day-to-day functioning of public markets and the need to create efficient operations.

Most recently, Mr. Boyd is the designer of the Milwaukee Public Market, opening in July, 2005 and contributed design concepts for the New York City Wholesale Farmers' Market study. Mr. Boyd is the design architect of the new Ardmore Farmers' Market in Ardmore, Pennsylvania and the Grand Central Market in New York City. He was the principal architect for the Portland Public Market, which has won numerous awards in architecture and planning, including the first ever Community Building by Design Award from the American Institute of Architects and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. He has helped create public markets in historic spaces, including the recently opened Market at 30th Street Station in Philadelphia, where he provided design and coordination for a new 35,000 sq. ft. market within a National Register train station; the Capital Market in Charleston, West Virginia, inside an 1890's train shed; and the highly successful Ardmore, Pennsylvania Farmers' Market inside an historic theater. Mr. Boyd provided the architectural services for the Twelve Oaks Farmers' Market in Savannah, Georgia, a renovation of a 13,000 sq. ft. supermarket into a 20-tenant mixed-use market; and the Reston Market in Reston, Virginia, a new 25,000 sq. ft. fresh food market in a new town center.

In 2001, Mr. Boyd became a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, the highest honor in the field, in large measure because of his expertise in public markets and his role in the renaissance of public markets in the United States.
