Tower Brewery

The location of this project is on the site of a former Cotton Mill which is adjacent to the French Broad River in the Historic River Arts District of Asheville, North Carolina. From the ruins of the old mill grows a new building which celebrates the craft of beer-making in a district where local art is a significant part of the community identity.
The icon of the new brewery is a glass tower which showcases a gravity-fl ow brewing process, The program spaces develop around the central core of the tower, engaging both of the existing vacant structures on the site of the old mill. The design of the building allows visitors to interact with the existing ruins, while experiencing views of the brewing tower from many different points of reference within the building. Tours of the brewery leads visitors up to the roof deck where they can see the top of the tower and views of the French Broad River.
