Space Planning

One of the most important aspects of designing the interior of a microbrewery or distillery is space planning. You need to carefully plan the layout of the space to ensure that you have enough room for all of the equipment, including brewing tanks, fermentation vessels, storage, and packaging areas. Consider how the space will be used and the flow of materials, people, and products in the area.

Equipment Selection

Selecting the right brewing and distilling equipment is essential to creating quality beer and spirits. Consider the type of liquor you plan to produce and choose equipment that meets your needs. You should also consider the space and layout of your microbrewery or distillery when selecting equipment, as larger equipment may require more space and clearance.

Flooring and Walls

The flooring and walls of your microbrewery or distillery should be able to withstand exposure to moisture and chemicals used in the brewing process. Consider using materials like concrete, epoxy coatings, or tiles that can withstand frequent cleaning and spills.

Lighting

Adequate lighting is essential as it helps workers to see what they are doing and creates a pleasant atmosphere for customers. You should consider using a combination of natural and artificial lighting to create a bright and welcoming space.

Temperature and Humidity Control

Temperature and humidity control are critical factors in the brewing and distilling process. You should consider installing an HVAC system that can regulate the temperature and humidity levels in the space.

Safety

Safety is paramount in any industrial setting, and a microbrewery or distillery is no exception. Consider installing safety features such as non-slip flooring, proper ventilation, and fire suppression systems.

Branding and Aesthetics

Finally, you should consider the branding of your product and how that will be reflected in the interior design. The interior should reflect the personality and style of your brand and create a unique experience for customers. Consider using elements such as artwork, lighting, and color schemes to create a memorable atmosphere.

Project Spotlight

Springmount

Springmount Services Pty Ltd has a twenty-year history of providing contract cleaning and facilities services across Australia. The team reached out to Leithal Designs to reinvigorate meeting rooms, the kitchen and reception areas and create additional workstations for their growing team.

External to the ground floor storage is an enclosed alley that the client wanted to create an outdoor staff breakout area. The client requested a concept to uplift this space and increase its usability – the goal being to use this space for entertaining as well as provide a comfortable spot for employees.

Leithal Designs worked collaboratively with the client to deliver a design that meet the client’s brief. The concept design included a refreshed outdoor entertainment zone, with wooden bench seating, an outdoor built in BBQ area, low maintenance greenery, and artificial grass to give a resort style feel to the area.

The original entrance area occupied a larger space, and the initial brief was to simply reduce the footprint to allow for additional workstations and office spaces. The client’s scope was to move the reception area to an alternate entrance, thereby keeping working groups together and creating more space for additional workstations. Alterations in the Kitchen were requested for a lunchroom where employees could also use this space to collaborate. Modern furniture was proposed for a warm and inviting feel.

Midway through the project, a change in priorities due to some external factors, meant that changes to the scope were to be accommodated; spaces were restored in the plans. The drawings were adjusted to down scale the design to meet the clients’ changing priorities.

The result is a functional refit that aligns with the Springmount brand, with refreshing finishes designed to uplift the working environment. The changes in scope were accommodated whilst balancing the clients’ goals and keeping within budget.
