[...] Donut Stop / Workr Inspired by mid-twentieth century American roadside architecture such as diners and coffee shops, the new Donut Stop, situated directly adjacent to a major freeway, emphasizes movement through its shape. Its soaring cantilevered roof and horizontal reveals lend the building a dynamic shape. On another level, and in a more sublime sense, the building was conceived as carved from the forces of nature such as wind, water and ice. The building rises up 25 feet to the East, facing the freeway and the East morning light, when a donut store is the busiest (read more…) [...]

How elegant and beautiful can this really be when you submit to having a sign next to it telling you what it is. I will be more intrigued when it becomes a Jiffy Lube in 5 years.

Neat and economical. You can tell that this shop got what they wanted and needed, without putting holes in their pockets………get it! It does seem a little wide or really big for a donut shop. Must be an anchor store.

Oh, and what’s the deal with the lonely triangular window at the top corner? Seems like a few more could of been added all across that plain wall since it is begging for some attention when someone is getting their sweet satisfaction at the pick-up windows. Yes. It exists now as a huge boring wall that just needed a little more attention. I’m pretty sure cost was the issue. Nice sensible project.

that is all
