Wondrous Brewing Company opened its new headquarters in San Francisco. Designed by Garcia Tamjidi Architecture Design, the new location boasts a minimalist design. The brewery celebrates the intricacies of craft beer and wanted to reflect its values through its headquarters ' design.
The completed project features a contemporary mix of large stainless steel brewing tanks, refrigeration areas, and grain grinding zones. Located at a former industrial warehouse, the building underwent a seismic upgrade to transform the space into a brewery. Boasting new concrete floor slabs, the floors can now support the weight of the brew tanks without concern. While most of the building is dedicated to brewing, a sleek front-facing taproom greets guests with delicious beer.
