Situated in California's vibrant City Heights neighborhood, the Izola Main Dough Factory and Eatery prioritizes industrial architecture, innovative design, sustainability, and community engagement.
The project creatively repurposes existing structures, combining a single-story prefabricated metal building with a new addition to create an 11,129-square-foot space housing Izola Bakery’s headquarters, public dining areas, and training offices. The core and shell construction design ensures flexibility as needs evolve.
Structural efficiency and sustainability are central, with pre-engineered steel construction facilitating efficiency and the facility set to operate with zero emissions, powered by renewable energy. The design maximizes daylight usage and features advanced technology to minimize environmental impact, including automated ingredient systems to reduce paper waste.
Community development is integral, with plans to create 170 living-wage jobs and establish the space as a community hub for gatherings and skill development programs, reflecting Izola’s values and positively impacting the surrounding area.
