| “Distillery’s have to be beautiful buildings and can you think of another building type that somebody says this has to be a beautiful building? Sadly, schools are not like that anymore. Train stations are not like that anymore… We’re so lucky, distillery buildings, I think, are the last beautiful building type.” Gareth Roberts, Organic Architects Stay tuned for more Distillery Diaries. |
