BA Year 1 Semester 2: A Place for Crafting
BA Year 1 Semester 2
This unit required me to design a building which is suitable for carrying out some form of craft - any craft I chose.
I chose brewing Beer.
The site I was given was a small, yet promenant corner site on the edge of Liverpool City Centre.
This area has a large volume of well established pubs and bars, so my chosen craft fits in well.
After analysing the area in detail, I decided that my design should be a modern take on the traditional Northern England terrace property, as many buildings in that area are of this nature.
My scheme would be a city-centre brewery, with on-site bar; however I was also required to provide living accomodation inside my design for the ‘landlord’.
Second
The design comprises of 4 floors;
Basement - Part of the Bar, also houses many parts of the brewery equipment,
Ground - Main Entrance, part of the bar, also houses parts of the brewery equipment,
First - More bar area, extra tables
Second - Residential space for the landlord Accessed from the rear of the property, not through the bar.

All floors of the bar are visually connected to each other by a large atrium at the main entrance. When walking in through the entrance, you could look up to the bar area upstairs, or look down - whilst walking over a short bridge - to the bar below.
