Background
The project involved the restoration and conversion of a former steading building to create a visitor centre and micro-distillery, bringing a disused rural asset back into productive use.
Challenges
The existing building fabric required sensitive intervention to accommodate modern distilling and visitor functions. All site services were outdated, necessitating full renewal while carefully integrating new infrastructure within the constraints of the original structure.
Solutions
Harley Haddow delivered a comprehensive MEP and services strategy, including the renewal of all site utilities and the development of a sustainable building energy solution. The approach balanced operational efficiency with long-term resilience, supporting both distillery processes and visitor facilities while minimising environmental impact.
