This is a young glass house on the grounds of the new Bombay Sapphire complex in Hampshire , England , opening this workweek . The Thomas Heatherwick designed - building almost look like one of the society ’s iconic blue nursing bottle of booze . Gin and tonic , anyone ?
Aside from looking very nerveless and very gin - like , the structure has some sustainable quality — it ’s heated using warm line made during distillation . And plants that are used to flavor the hooch are arise inside the greenhouse . The modern structure sits among a declamatory complex of square-toed - era edifice , once home to a paper mill that made English currency . Now Heatherwick — have a go at it for plan such projects as the 2012 Olympic Cauldron and the U.K. Pavilion at Shanghai 2010 Expo — has create a endearing mix of old and new . Many of the old buildings sat in disrepair until Bacardi ( Bombay ’s parent troupe ) grease one’s palms the dimension and commissioned Heatherwick to update the older buildings and add the new one .
And the result is this beautiful glass house , distillery , and circumvent bodily structure , which all together make Bombay Sapphire ’s new home . Now when ’s glad time of day ? [ Dezeen ]
