Leku Ona Hotel

The Leku Ona Hotel, a cherished landmark on Boise’s Basque Block, has long stood as a testament to the city’s vibrant Basque heritage, originally serving as a boarding house and community hub. This project involved the full teardown and meticulous restoration of its 100-year-old porch, bringing it back to its original state while meeting modern engineering and building codes. Working closely with the City of Boise and the local historical society, every detail was carefully considered—original elements were restored wherever possible, and new components were custom-crafted to match the historic design. The result is a porch that preserves the building’s architectural integrity while honoring the enduring legacy and cultural richness of Boise’s Basque community.
