Gone are the days when distilleries were housed inside dark and dusty old warehouses that were off limits to the general public. Today spirits companies around the world are teaming up with architects to design homes for their distilleries that are both design forward and inviting enough to make you want to grab a seat at one of their tasting rooms and stay awhile. Here are five recently opened distilleries that caught our eye.<\/p>\n
1. Firms:<\/strong><\/strong> Lee Boyd<\/a>; Four-by-Two<\/a> 2. Firms:<\/strong> Heatherwick Studio<\/a>; GWP Architecture<\/a><\/p>\n Project:<\/strong> Bombay Sapphire<\/p>\n Location:<\/strong> Hampshire, England<\/p>\n Standout:<\/strong> Inspired by the distillation process, architects built two intertwining botanical glasshouses comprised of 893 individually shaped curved glass pieces. Inside each glass structure a team of horticulturists help cultivate the 10 herbs and spices used to make the gin based on a 254-year-old recipe. <\/p>\n
\nProject:<\/strong><\/strong> Beefeater, London
\nStandout:<\/strong><\/strong> Rather than build a plain precast concrete tower to house the historic gin distillery\u2019s new visitor\u2019s center in the city\u2019s Kensington District, architects overcladded the fa\u00e7ade with copper-colored fins that change appearance depending on light, shadows, and perspective.<\/p>\n
