Final Major Project

'The Cask' at Hopkins Brewery

For my Final Major Project, I decided to design a micro craft brewery and bar. This was mainly due to the fact that I thought that this would prove the most challenging yet enjoyable project. 

The project allowed me to experience the brewing process first hand, and to actually learn about what would be made at the new location in Brewery Wharf, Leeds, not just what was needed to design it.

I focused mainly on the bar area for this design, as it was this which would allow me to be my most creative. I decided from the start that I wanted the design aesthetic to reflect the robust industrial processes of the historical brewing methods.

This project was the first which required me to include everything which I had learnt to date. I had to use my skills to produce condition reports, feasibility studies, detailed plans and sections, detailed drawing as well as strong visual representation of my final design.

The materials and colours used were to reflect the tones of the beers and ales produced. Warm reds, golds and copper colours highlight key areas of the space, creating as overall warm atmosphere.
