For Breakhouse Inc. designing cutting-edge commercial spaces is what it does best. Standing out from its competition and setting the industry standard is nothing new for this high-end design and architectural firm. However, it is not just its sought-after designs and commercial construction documents that clients are gravitating to. Breakhouse Inc. has moved beyond the competition based on another key criterion that gives it an edge in a market that can often be oversaturated. Combining design insight in addition to branding is the secret building block in Breakhous Inc.’s client offerings. “We are a blend between a branding agency and an architectural and interior design firm,” Vincent Vandenbrink, President of Breakhouse describes. “So we do both of those which allows us to provide a lot of design insight to build work like restaurants, hospitality spaces, and even larger developments in multi-unit residential with a really strong design point of view, because it is rooted in what the end user should experience,” he continues.
