More about Castaway Commons:

A complete facade renovation was undertaken through a “reskin” of the existing office shell, replacing it with three different storefronts and a curtain wall glazing system with varying colors. Solar louvers on the south facade help to reduce solar gain further. A fritted glass panel facing Westcliff Drive signifies the main entrance with a cedar storefront and large display windows enhancing public access and visibility.
