Sou’West啤酒厂将维多利亚州沿海托尔坎的一个标志性仓库改造成一个由冲浪文化的联系、温暖和玩乐驱动的活泼场所。由啤酒馆、游乐区、品尝亭和露天平台组成，广阔的场地通过巧妙的规划和自然主义的材料来定义，以庆祝Sou’West的真实、现场酿造。
Sou’West Brewery converts an iconic warehouse in Victoria’s coastal Torquay into a lively venue driven by the connection, warmth, and playfulness of surf culture. Comprising a beer hall, play area, tasting pavilion, and open-air terrace, the expansive site is defined through skillful planning and naturalistic materials, celebrating Sou’West’s authentic, on-site brewing.
这座1495平方米的仓库最初建于90年代中期，是当地成立的冲浪品牌Quiksilver的总部，是托尔坎冲浪海岸社区的一个灯塔。Sou’West的方案要求建立一个充满活力的食品和饮料中心，提供 “每个时刻的空间”，同时无缝整合酿酒设备作为Sou’West的工艺方法的展示。Sou’West的谦逊的酿酒精神将场地的粗糙程度与崎岖的海岸线相提并论，激发了设计团队选择反映自然触感和温暖的材料。赤土、水磨石、木材和皮革的土黄色调被有趣地交织在一起，在坚固和舒适、平易近人和细节之间取得了平衡，而掌纹装饰品的加入则是对仓库的冲浪服起源的俏皮点头。
Originally built in the mid-90s as HQ for a locally founded surf brand, Quiksilver, the 1495m2 warehouse is a beacon of Torquay’s surf coast community. Sou’West’s brief called for a vibrant food and beverage hub that would deliver ‘spaces for every moment,’ while seamlessly integrating brewery equipment as a showcase of Sou’West’s crafted approach. Sou’West’s humble brewing ethos drew parallels between the rawness of the site and the rugged coast, inspiring the design team to select materials reflecting natural tactility and warmth. Earthen tones of terracotta, terrazzo, timber, and leather are playfully intertwined to strike a balance between robustness and comfort, approachability and detail, while the inclusion of palm-print upholstery is a playful nod to the warehouse’s surf-wear origins.
该项目需要广泛的空间策略和结构工程来创造一个连贯的主张。一个上层的板块被拆除，以庆祝建筑的规模，而一个重要的扩展是专门用来容纳啤酒厂的各种谷物磨、罐和发酵器的，这涉及到严格的城市规划谈判。仓库需要进行彻底的服务升级，以适应其新的用途，这对设计师提出了挑战，要求他们找到无缝的整合方法，使原始仓库的外壳得到赞美，而不是被掩盖。
The project required extensive spatial strategy and structural works to create a coherent proposition. An upper-level slab was removed to celebrate the scale of the building, while a significant extension was purpose-built to accommodate the brewery’s various grain mills, tanks, and fermenters, involving rigorous town planning negotiations. The warehouse required a thorough services upgrade to suit its new use, challenging the designers to find seamless methods of integration to enable the raw warehouse shell to be celebrated, rather than concealed.
这种深思熟虑的方法贯穿于室内最精细的细节。展位上引人注目的长枕式靠背采用了粉末涂层框架和木材端盖，而玻璃屏风和顶棚上明显的接缝则体现了该地的仓库风貌。这样的工艺元素反映了Sou’West的酿造过程中的谨慎和关注，同时提升了客户体验。该场地的整体视野，从宏观到微观，在每个接触点都灌输了凝聚力和力量。
This thoughtful approach is carried through to the interior’s finest details. The striking bolster-style backrests of the booths are finished with powder-coated frames and timber end capping, while the expressed joints in the glass screens and canopies hark back to the site’s warehouse vernacular. Such crafted elements reflect the care and attention of Sou’West’s brewing process while elevating the customer experience. The venue’s holistic vision, from macro to micro, instills cohesion and strength at every touchpoint.
定制的路灯以亲密的比例创造出一种人类的尺度，而陶土地砖的定向游戏为广阔的地板面积带来了精细的纹理。景观设计、混合家具布置和悬挂式雨棚为空间体验提供了变化，同时有助于直观的寻路。啤酒馆增加了一个12米长的天窗，吸引了大量的自然光，创造了一种生动的、阳光下的质量。再加上充满活力的自然色调、平易近人的设置和明亮的信号感，Sou’West Brewery提供了一个热闹的社区聚会场所，使该地作为全球冲浪社区的一个标志性部分的叙述不断发展。
Bespoke streetlamps are intimately proportioned to create a human scale, while the directional play of terracotta floor tiles brings a fine grain to the vast floor area. Landscaping, mixed furniture arrangements, and suspended canopies give variation to the spatial experience while aiding in intuitive wayfinding. The addition of a 12-meter skylight to the beer hall draws in abundant natural light to create a lively, sun-lit quality. Coupled with vibrant natural tones, approachable settings, and a bright, beaconing sensibility, Sou’West Brewery delivers a bustling community gathering place, evolving the site’s narrative as an iconic part of the global surfing community.
