Radio 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.
