This project prompted us to design a brewery located in Cincinnati’s historic Over-The-Rhine (OTR) district. The OTR has been revitalized in recent years, and the brewery would build upon these improvements.

The project is organized by two grids—one that is ordered, and another that is chaotic. The exterior of the brewery emphasizes the chaotic grid, while the interior is dominated by the ordered, modular grid system. The project is designed to be underground, transforming the roof into the ground plane. The roof provides access to all parts of the building, but also acts as a playground and beer garden.
