The Design

About Distillery Showroom

Distillery is a showroom that brings production, shop and tasting bar together in one place. The industrial ambience is combined with traditional materials such as copper, steel, wood, glass and stone. These materials reflect the craftsmanship of the distillery and create a calm atmosphere. The central element is a standing table, lit by a lamp made from distillery bottles. Opposite the table is a bar made of raw steel with a copper surface. Warm oak contrasts with black expanded metal details. A glass lift leads to the cellar.

Production Technology: The industrial design charm of the distillery is reflected in the architecture and furnishing.
Some elements are finished in black expanded metal, such as the frame of the lamp, the railing that separates the distillery from the store, tasting area and the sliding doors of the exhibition furniture. The bar copper surface reflects the distillery boiler. These cold features are contrasted by warm oak wood and staged with spot lighting.
Design Challenge: Especially when planning a production facility in the hospitality industry, an understanding for the operational processes and the requirements of employees and customers, as well as the sustainability of materials are decisive points for the future viability of a business. With my experience, I was able to contribute a very coherent overall concept.
Research: The concept behind the architecture and design was to provide more space and simplicity for the production, and to bring both store and enjoyment worlds together.
The architect Florian Studer took the diverse usability of the room into account, to bring this traditional business closer to the community.
Inspiration: Architecturally create a location for a traditional business where all work processes can be experienced and witnessed right up to the enjoyment. This in a contemporary design with various highlights that convey tradition, quality and passion.
Project Duration: The project started in February 2021 in Schinznach-Dorf Aargau Switzerland and finished in November 2021.
Operation Flow: This new location invites guests to experience, taste and buy wine and distillates with its charming atmosphere and contemporary and light design: enticing them to stay, enjoy and simply feel good. During summertime, the new terrace can be used for events. Our credo is: enjoyment meets traditional craftsmanship.
