Architecture and master plan
The overall master planning revolves around an existing structure of the Peer which is a place of worship for the locals and workers. The building responds to the vast expanse of green by utilising the space to create a unique sequential journey from dis-embarking, a space for welcoming the guests with refreshments and a de-briefing of the facility, media facilities with visual education of the brand and an R&D Lab with botanicals and a tasting space. The building itself was visualised as an exposed brick, concrete and metal structure.
Audio visual room R&d lab
The visual display interior spaces speak in textures of stained mint green concrete and micro-topped walls with special installations like the “shrine” sculpted in copper and bronze mirror, celebrating the well sculpted form of the Terai bottle, and complementing the palette of engraved copper and printed MDF providing the visual information.
The R&D Lab is a space which caters to the production of gin with the custom designed copper potstil being the focal point, and a space where a user could experiment with their own concoctions. Smartly designed capsules in raw metal having subtle descriptions engraved in gold leafing act as a space divider between the tasting experiential space and the main distillery. Rich mint green Terrazo floors with brass inlay, a marble bar counter, contrast with the raw metal and fluted glass screens and Kota floors for the main distillery.
