RFBM was in a stand-down from attending Burning Man. The building, stored for future use, remains at the center of logistical challenges, and a symbol of an era of decadence and labor-intensive maintenance. |

Free Burning Man undertook an ambitious project to replace the "shack"
with a new building. The plan was to simply replace within the existing
form factor and allow the veranda to be reused. To reduce the full
cost of replacing the entire structure in one year, the floor sections
were retained as well until replacements are built. Advantage is taken
of new construction techniques and materials. While the basic premise
of wall sections, bolted together and supporting a roof system remains
the same, the orientation of the sections contributes to uniformity
and easier assembly.
The
overall design is a basic adaptation of the previous structure with
emphasis on a storefront. The front door remains in the same location
as with the "shack", but the fenestration is confined to
the front facing wall and windows are aligned with the ports of the
arches. A back door is included for fast access buy the staff camped
behind it. 
The
interior space is simplified into one room.
RFBM
returned as a fully operating theme camp and more finishing of the building
was attempted. Pilasters, similar in design to the ones used 2000-2005,
was added at each wall joint along the frontage. The 2003 veranda was
retained. A shade structure was purchased and added onto the rear for
staff meetings. The deck sections were rebuilt
to a new 2-foot-wide specification to make them lighter and easier to
stack
