Dread River Distilling Co.
Honor Award, AIA Birmingham
The design concept for Dread River Distilling Company reflects the company’s brand, which references an ancient tale of an underground mystic river, flowing beneath the streets of Birmingham, large enough for steam vessels to traverse, and from which Dread River sources its main ingredient, water.
The manufacturing space design heavily engages the company branding while providing an efficient production layout and embracing natural light and ventilation. The tasting room design reflects the depth and darkness of this mystic river. The individuality of each lounge room reflects the unforeseen nature of a journey down this mystic river, so as guests move throughout the bar, the experience is ever-changing, similar to one’s journey down “Dread River”.
