Interior The double height space to the rear of Weighmaster’s House is proposed to be opened up, with a light mezzanine level. The ground floor is envisaged as a creative space. The mezzanine level is envisaged as a flexible desk space, from where the ground floor will be seen. The roof of the Weighmaster’s House, including its lanthern and side lights, are proposed to be restored in a scholarly manner, repairing existing curved beams and restoring the boarded ceiling in-between. The historic photograph of the Butter Market will serve as a guide to restore lost fabric. The new mezzanine will be a light structure, structurally independent from the structure of the Weighmaster’s House.
