DeNinno Architects is working with Oakmont Barbeque Company to design their first brick-and-mortar location. Located in Verona, PA along Allegheny River Boulevard, the structure is was built as a gasoline station in the 1960’s. Hosting other automobile related uses over time, the small building is a largely intact and un-scathed Miesian box. The original structure, including the hollow tube steel frame and stainless steel storefront, will be maintained with the canopy overhang facing being re-clad in small scaled ribbed metal panels. A metal framed addition on the east side will house the BBQ smokers and walk-in cooler while an addition on the west side will contain office and dry storage space. Both new structures will be clad in a larger scaled ribbed metal panels. Outdoor seating will be along Allegheny River Boulevard with a river birch and tall grass planted berm providing shade and visual screening.
