Bunker Workshop was created in the Charlestown neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts in 2009. The name Bunker Workshop was chosen as a nod to the firm's location (the office is near Charlestown's Bunker Hill Monument) and intention. The word bunker connotes images of shelter and protection - a personal place that one creates in order to escape from the chaos of outside forces. Out aim is to workshop with our clients in order to bring such a place into reality.
