This industrial building provides flexible and truck-accessible work spaces with a minimalist industrial aesthetic for a variety of small to midsize tenants: artists, fabricators, sculptors, artisans, set designers, and craftsmen. The ground floor and second floor feature a publicly accessible gallery and artist residency workshop for large-scale sculptural projects, with catwalks overlooking the space.

The structure is a cast-in-place waffle slab system. The facade system utilizes a combination of curtain wall glass units and opaque COR-TEN steel panels on the south facade to shield it from solar gains.
