Project Description
The crown jewel of an urban campus in the heart of downtown Louisville, the award-winning Rabbit Hole Distillery is a new, modern, 55,000-square-foot distillery introduced to an industry steeped in tradition.
The architectural innovation is based on transparency and a “form follows process” concept: The structure took shape in direct response to the bourbon production process to showcase both the journey from the grain to bottle and the capacious copper and steel equipment.
The building is primarily composed of glass, metal, and blackened wood louvers. The jewel in the “crown” is the Manufacturing Atrium. The project also repurposed an old warehouse on the site and an 8000-square-foot, ca. 1930 church structure nearby.
Shortly after the grand opening In 2018, Rabbit Hole Distillery received Metal Construction News magazine’s Grand Award. It 2019, the modern structure in the heart of Louisville’s NuLu neighborhood, received an AIA Kentucky design award.
