This London gin distillery inside a large railway arch south of the river required a concealed area for distilling gin, a laboratory to develop products, a retail and entertainment area, thermally insulated offices, alcohol storage and general storage in a well organised spatial sequence. Materials used were limited to a few, were inexpensive and of industrial nature: triple walled obscure polycarbonate sheets, galvanised steel, timber studs, glass and dark brown phenolic plywood along with stainless steel, exposed M&E installations, strip lighting, some decorative ambient lighting. A license to distill has recently been granted and original Bermondsey Gin will soon be available from this location.
