BRLO BRWHOUSE is a new brewery building designed by GRAFT, an international architecture studio. What separates the brewery from the other industrial warehouses that pock the Berlin landscape is that BRLO BRWHOUSE is [completely modular](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arkhive). It's designed for a temporary existence, with BRLO expecting three to five years of occupation, at which point the [container-style building](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schtauss) can be completely dismantled and moved to a new location.

BRLO BRWHOUSE consists of four lengthwise containers stacked three high, giving more than enough space for the brewery's equipment. As such, BRLO also uses the building as an [event space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heineken-seoul-rooftops) where it hosts things like parties, tastings, and even concerts. Beer is a crucial cultural artifact in Berlin (and indeed around Germany as a whole,) so the combination of social space with brewing industry is a natural one.
