About MacLac Building D – Rebirth of An Historic Paint Factory
Prior to its current incarnation, the building was part of a paint and lacquer factory owned since the mid-20th Century by MacLac, a name combining part of the previous owner’s name and the word “lacquer”. This edifice was known as “Building D” of the factory. Building D’s architectural rejuvenation accentuates the symmetric geometry of its historically industrial heritage by
- Introducing abundant daylight through ridge skylights extending the length of the structure,
- Providing architectural lighting designed to highlight the historic brick walls and steel roof trusses of the original building,
- Incorporating crucial seismic upgrading with structural diaphragms that double as an architectural level that creates usable floor area with exceptional vantage points of the building volume.
The resulting design is ideal for uses in accordance with the City’s zoning, including show room, restaurant, office, retail, light manufacturing, arts-related and design-related businesses.
