“The focus of the design was to support sculptural quality of a long vaulted space.”
Renewed family brewery is placed in the fermentation cellars of the ancient brewery. The focus of the design was to support sculptural quality of a long vaulted space. New porthole-like windows broke through the thick walls between taproom and brewery reveal boiling pan, lauter tun, fermentation tanks and storage cellar and show it to guests. Light neutral materials and lightening make perfect background for views through glasses of beer. Ceramic counter reminds the traditional Czech beer culture.
