It’s not every day that you have the chance to collaborate with family members to deliver a unique design, especially for their new business venture, a boutique gin distillery. Located on North Street Richmond, in what was a panel beating shop, the only legacy remaining is the overhead gantry that adds to the industrial look of this “gin joint”.
Following a total rework of this warehouse style space with its saw-tooth roofs, and the distillery functional process overlaid on the plan, L2D had the freedom to express the materiality of the selected finishes within the design parameters set by the distillery’s father-daughter team, Simon and Brogan Carr. The design enhanced the raw mix of the selected three steels; Mild Steel, Rusted Corten Steel and Stainless Steel, in addition to the natural elements of recycled timber.
