At the heart of the complex, which houses a visitors centre as well as the distilling equipment itself, is a suite of elaborate new glasshouses, combining functionalism with lavish display. These are Heatherwick’s most visible contribution to the distillery and they don’t disappoint, appearing to sprout organically from a nearby structure before planting their multi-faceted forms down in the pool at the centre of the buildings. The glasswork is complex, appearing to cascade into the water with slender bronze mullions that rise up, curve and pinch together at the point they intersect with the brick buildings.
