The former World War II industrial site at Vint Hill in Fauquier County, Virginia, has been transformed into the Old Bust Head Brewing Company. This adaptive reuse project repurposed an unused building and brought new business to the area.

The structure features masonry walls, heavy-timber columns, beams, and roof rafters. We incorporated these elements along with new industrial materials and products to enhance the updated industrial aesthetic of the taproom and beer garden.

This project exemplifies adaptive reuse in architecture, which is crucial in conserving land and resources.
