For some time, the fate of the old Domino’s Sugar Factory was undetermined as idea after idea passed through the gate. Now, Two Trees Developers has brought on Practice for Architecture and Urbanism (PAU) to take charge on the project.

The team has decided to honor the building’s original structure while still achieving their goal of turning it into an office building. However, the project has not been without its complications. The building’s window weren’t aligned properly and wouldn’t line up with the office floors and the building itself didn’t have traditional floors. That being the case, the team plans to basically hollow the entire building.
The new structure will have a building within a building that allows air and light to seemingly flow through the space. The design also includes a crystalline barrel-vaulted structure that will sit atop the current building, an open-air courtyard that will connect Kent Avenue and a soon-to-be-opened waterfront park, and shops and restaurant on the ground floor.
