Confidential Distillery Project | Lamar Johnson Collaborative (LJC)

LJC collaborated with Clayco and Concrete Strategies to design a cutting-edge, carbon-neutral distillery, featuring 15 warehouses and a brand home visitor center.

The client worked closely with LJC’s design team to enhance their production process while maintaining a strong focus on sustainability. This facility was designed to produce bourbon for a leading global wine and spirits boutique bourbon company.

The distillery’s design features large window curtain walls, providing a captivating view of the bourbon production process. Additionally, the site was equipped with a fire tank and a diesel pump, ensuring an adequate water supply in the event of a fire or electrical failure.

As a green company, the client placed great importance on environmental consciousness and aimed to achieve LEED certification for the distillery. The entire facility was designed to operate using only electric power, eliminating reliance on fossil fuels. This commitment to a fossil fuel-free production process set the client apart from industry norms.
