The office design highlights the building’s existing concrete floors and wood columns, trusses and ceilings, while new plywood casework, metal mesh railings and glass storefronts along the enclosed private offices and meeting spaces reinforce the space’s industrial nature.

General Contractor: Insight Construction
Architect: Doug Heller, Sandy Johnson

Burque Bakehouse is located at the corner of Broadway and Hazeldine in an old Dairy Queen building.

The project overcame major infrastructural challenges, including a collapsed main sewer line, inadequate original electrical service and unexpected required replatting process.
