Local restauranteurs Scott Skiba and Chris Teigland, who own Birdhouse restaurant in Erie (and Community in Lafayette) are expanding their empire. Their business Rearview Mirror Concepts submitted plans to open a Birdhouse II at 14195 W 68th Ave. in Arvada.
The property they hope to build upon is a 1.66-acre lot, and plans show a 5,000-square-foot restaurant with a coffee shop/bar area, outdoor seating, a community garden, 51 parking spaces, and room for 50 bicycles to be locked up. Renderings show the design will incorporate using shipping containers to construct the two-story building.
At the end of May, a revised site plan was submitted for the project by Raptor Civil Engineering. The company is also working with Joe The Architect on the concept.
In a project narrative, Skiba wrote that they picked this specific location because there is “something calming and serene about being there. The landscape and backdrop are a perfect match for our Birdhouse concept… Set into nature, without affecting it, while providing a dining and outdoor experience in one.”
So so sad this development is not moving forward in Arvada. We are within walking distance and would have LOVED this!! Much better than another warehouse
