Perk Up Kitchen is a new restaurant concept built on a love for all things breakfast. Ownership saw a community need for a place to gather and enjoy a delicious meal, serving all-day breakfast and lunch. Classic items done right, and some new favorites with a twist. This adaptive reuse converts the former Bruegger’s Bagels into full service restaurant with indoor bar, expanded dining, full kitchen, restrooms, utility and outdoor seating. The design includes a bright material palette with pops of color and texture to provide warmth where natural light fades, playing off the brand identity. Thielen & Green provided full scope architectural services from site assessment through construction administration, under a design-build mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering deliverable with Dering Pierson Group. The kitchen design was provided in coordination with Boelter Design & Supply. The project is currently under construction with an opening date of early 2024.
This project utilized full BIM modeling for early design review, project coordination and clash detection, with a goal to limit field changes and expedite construction timelines.
