The Ironworks, London, Ontario

The Ironworks building is a collection of attached buildings, and takes it’s name from the original structure being the home to different iron and steel companies over the years. This structure was added to over time which resulted in four distinct buildings constructed in a variety of methods and materials. The most recent tenant was the D’Arcy Lane school of massage therapy.  Building systems and services were completely upgraded and large, energy efficient storefronts were added in this adaptive re-use completed for a local commercial real estate development company. The commercial appeal of the building was greatly improved by dividing the building into multiple office and commercial units with street front access.  The original structure exists beneath the custom perforated aluminum and black panels which give the building a translucent quality. Zedd Architecture is located in one of the prime office spaces just a few feet from the CN tracks and the rolling trains that pass by several times daily.
