incorporate the brewery system into the layout and marry it with the restaurant and deli sections. One of Inhouse’s aims was to tie the various areas together aesthetically in order to create a sense of visual cohesion. By removing a pre-existing wall, Visagie was able to connect the deli, restaurant and tasting room areas to the brewery in an open-plan manner. The bar and tasting area display impressive design elements such as striking pendant fittings suspended overhead that literally put the location’s name up in lights! Guests can make a quick pit stop at the feature bar, which is crafted from 76 timber and edged with bevelled tiles, to sample Wild Clover’s special brews. Other design elements contribute to the contemporary aesthetic, such as randomly placed white and grey hexagonal tiles amalgamated into the sealed concrete flooring. Another truly unique feature comprises four floor-to-ceiling Perspex columns, each containing an essential ingredient of beer: yeast, barely, hops and water. An easy-to-access hatch in the ceiling allows the ingredients to be added to each column. These clearly showcase what the brand is all about…beer! Wild Clover
