Design Details
- Unique Properties

Panoramic windows enable the users to connect to the the brewery. A custom-made shipping container is the focal point of the pub and interrupts the space with its striking yellow color. Installed on-site and furnished with crates and a Giesinger green sofa, it acts as a lounge, providing privacy from the main hall.
- Inspiration

Recycled Giesinger beer bottles are used in the lobby outside of the main hall and inserted with lights to illuminate the G shape. Recycled bricks are cladded on the bar display wall and were locally sourced to reduce the projects carbon footprint.
- Operation and Interaction
- The bar is now the brands representation, from hosting guided tours to events. It includes an office space and a beer hall. A green elevator connects the hall to the storage area and entertains the guests with old beer moving theatrics. The multi-functional pub seats 160 people and can also host corporate events and private parties.
