Ironworks is accented with rich modern finishes including glass, iron, and wood tones that complement the streamlined architecture.
The concept and execution of the development is complex. The overall form of the development consists of two primary buildings, running parallel to Pandora to the north and Franklin to the south – a functional response to anticipated user requirements. This design optimizes solar orientation and provides ocean and north shore mountain views. Mezzanines are incorporated in both industrial and office units contributing to an even greater use of space. Located between the two buildings is the mews. The mews functions as a working street including business entries and visitor parking spaces. It also is where direct and common grade loading for shipments large and small converge.
