So often we get caught up in our daily tasks – what’s in front of us, what’s our next deadline – that we begin to lose sight of what’s happening big picture within our industry. With projects moving at a rapid pace and new construction taking place all around us, we polled our design teams and in-house experts to hear their take on which trends are not going away anytime soon.
Breweries
First, there are breweries. Did you know there were over 25 million barrels of craft beer produced in the United States in 2018? And, over 1,000 new craft breweries opened across the nation last year proving that the craft beer industry is not planning on slowing down anytime soon.
Vanguard Brewpub and Distillery located in Hampton, Virginia. Timmons Group provided professional services beginning with the definition of Site Constraints and Final Geometrics. The firm also provided surveying of the site and Construction Documents.
We’re also noticing design trends such as massive outdoor spaces, historic renovation, and sustainable design in recent brewery projects that boost a breweries atmosphere to be more than just beer. We’re seeing breweries put an emphasis on turning into community gathering spaces for relaxation and socialization.
