Blueprints to Bottles: Building a Distillery for Success

Bari was recently interviewed by Olivier Ward over at Everglow Spirits about the work we do at Organic Architects.

Building a distillery is an exciting venture, but it’s far more complex than many anticipate. From planning approvals and sustainability considerations to balancing production efficiency with visitor experiences, every detail plays a role in long-term success.

We specialise in designing distilleries that are not only functional but also future-proof. Organic go beyond traditional architecture, acting as a strategic partner to help distillery founders navigate planning challenges, optimise space for expansion, and integrate sustainability for long-term profitability.

“Distillery design isn’t just about putting stills in a room,” says Reid. “It’s about balancing function, aesthetics, and the future needs of the business.”

With years of experience and a portfolio of distilleries at various stages of development, we understand the importance of aligning design with brand vision and visitor expectations. Whether it’s a boutique operation focused on tourism or a large-scale production facility, strategic planning from day one is the key to success.
