BREWERY OMMEGANG

Brewery Ommegang is based on the centuries old tradition of the Belgian farmstead, in which very specialized beers have been brewed for generations. The client charged us with building on this Belgian tradition by creating a state-of-the-art, yet culturally resonant, brewing facility.

The client wished for the building to impart a strong agricultural feeling. In Belgium, all agricultural operations, whether they be dairy, crops, fermenting (wineries) or brewing, have a strong cultural relationship to the land. In the case of breweries, the hops grow on the land and the water comes from the land. Thus, we looked closely at both Belgian as well as domestic agricultural building forms as part of the design process.

MARKETING ICON
The building also was required to serve as a marketing icon for the brewery. The client wanted to be able to build a strong relationship in the public's mind between the product and the actual building itself. The building, therefore, had to communicate the spirit and the quality of the product.
