Heatherwick Studio-倫敦孟買藍寶石釀酒廠

紅磚式歷史建築與曲線型的玻璃屋，這兩種似乎有點距離的建築造型，卻被稱為英國鬼才建築師Heatherwick給巧妙地結合了起來。而特地設計在通過釀酒廠河流上的曲型玻璃屋，更讓視覺上產生了一種新奇感，讓人有著一眼就想走進瞧瞧的衝動。
孟買藍寶石釀酒廠（Bombay Sapphire Distillery）為倫敦一座琴酒酒廠，這是該酒廠第一次委託設計公司規劃室內的釀酒設施，同時也開放給一般民眾參觀。釀酒廠前身為一處以水力發電的紙廠，紙廠內有著超過40棟的大小荒廢建築物，許多建築物依然保留著歷史特徵，這些歷史特徵也成了負責設計的海澤維克工作室Heatherwick Studio特地保留的元素。
在整體的規劃中，穿過廠區的River Test這條多年被隱藏混凝土水道下的河流在這次建物翻修中倒是成了重要的角色，同時也為這舊廠區增添了不少活力。海澤維克工作室不但將River Test的河岸擴寬，並種植了植物與設計出像是溫室般的玻璃屋以做為吸引遊客的中央庭院區。同時也因為這條河流讓圍繞在River Test四周的釀酒廠與其他設施能有著更舒服的空間配置感。這也要歸功於事務所讓River Test重見天日及拓寬了二倍的河道寬度，當然還有令人愉悅的溫室綠色植物區。
位於河道上二個溫室般的玻璃屋設計不但搶眼，也是事務所的主要設計之一。二個玻璃屋內的環境可是大不相同，一個為潮溼的熱帶氣候，一個為乾燥的地中海型氣候，同時玻璃屋內甚至種植了10種可使用於釀酒過程中所需的異國植物。而在釀酒過程所散發出的蒸氣也被循環利用當成了溫室所需的水氣以滋潤溫室內的植物，同時使得玻璃屋與釀酒區有了緊密連結的元素。
在初期的設計中，事務所本想在廠區中設計一處獨立的遊客中心，但在是否有其需求性的考量下，最後放棄了這樣的構想，而是改以更開放的空間設計來讓遊客有更近距離的觀賞釀酒過程的體驗，並能一覽這些仍使用中的古董級手工雕刻黃銅琴酒釀酒設施。孟買藍寶石釀酒廠更是獲得了英國綠色建築獎（BREEAM）的認可，這也是第一座能獲得此獎的釀酒廠。

Heatherwick Studio／Bombay Sapphire Distillery
The gin-maker Bombay Sapphire commissioned the creation of the company’s first in-house production facility, which will also be open for members of the public to visit. Formerly a water-powered paper mill, the site contained more than forty derelict buildings, many of historical significance, which have been regenerated and restored as part of Heatherwick Studio’s master plan. Central to the development of the master plan is the River Test, which was previously almost invisible, contained within a narrow high-sided concrete channel and largely covered over as the site had intensively developed over many years.
The river became the central organising device to make sense of the complex site and this accumulation of facilities. The river has been widened and its banks opened out and planted in order to transform it into a route that draws visitors through the site to a newly defined courtyard at its centre, surrounded by historic buildings. To make the water visible and valuable once more the river has taken on more than twice its original width and its banks reshaped with planted foreshores.
The original project brief included provision of a separate visitor centre. However the design team believed this not to be necessary, preferring to allow the public a more authentic experience by getting closer to the distillation process and seeing the sculptural copper gin stills in use.
Heatherwick Studio's master plan proposed the creation of two new glasshouses to grow specimens of the 10 exotic plant species used in the Bombay Sapphire distillation process. These glasshouses, one of them containing a humid tropical environment and the other a dry temperate Mediterranean climate, emerge from the northern still house to sit within the waters of the widened river. The connection to the still house allows waste heat from the distillation process to be recycled to maintain the warm climates for the plant species to flourish. The fluid geometry of these new glass buildings was influenced by recent advances in glass technology and by Britain’s rich heritage of botanical glasshouse structures.
This new botanical distillery has achieved a BREEAM ‘outstanding’ rating for sustainability; the first facility in the drinks manufacturing industry to be awarded this rating.
