Bombay Gin's 'Laverstoke Mill Distillery' features a modern glass greenhouse in the middle of a botanical garden. While many brewers allow guests to tour their facilities, few offer the kind of experience that guests receive at the Laverstoke Mill Distillery.
The Laverstoke Mill Distillery is located on the site of an old paper mill, which dates back to 903 CE. However, the historic setting is contrasted with several contemporary structures. The surrounding wetlands are incorporated with botanical gardens and a modern glass greenhouse. The greenhouse boasts a unique design that extends from the river into the bricks of the surrounding building. The design is not only beautiful, but it also demonstrates the brand's commitment to sustainability.
The Laverstoke Mill Distillery demonstrates how older building can be fused with modern design in a sustainable way.
