Mackmyra Gravity Distillery - exterior side view

This innocuous seeming industrial building houses sophisticated infrastructure and machinery in making spirits in a climate friendly way with the forces of gravity. The distilling process starts at the top and at the bottom, the finished result are stored in oak barrels. Staying true to this top to bottom effect, the building itself is organized this way as well.

From the outside, one can get a peek at this play of fun and craftsmanship through partial glazing on the facade. The glass facade tilts forward to make it more transparent from the ground so that passersby can get a better view as well as screen off solar heat radiation. The exterior malt silos and elevators are both wrapped in a lightweight steel structure to create a unity in material.
