Working closely with Angus Dundee Distiller, jmarchitects has developed a proposal for a visitor experience to the historic whisky site of Glencadam in Brechin, reports Scottish Construction Now.
Glencadam began production in 1825 and is now the only single malt Scotch whisky distillery in the county of Angus. According to Scottish Construction Now, the new visitor centre will provide a shop, exhibition space, tasting rooms, a whisky lounge, and a café and function room on the first floor.
jmarchitects said: “An architectural landmark of many distilleries is the pagoda roofs of the malt kilns, known as Doig Ventilators, a key feature at Glencadam twice over the Distillery’s long history before they were tragically destroyed by fire. The proposal will seek to form a vernacular language utilising a robust yet dignified palette of materials to create variety in elevational approach and character.”
Consulting engineer DSSR Ltd and structural & civil engineer Narro Associates are also involved in the project.
