[Brewery within Nature]
ASLA Brewing Company is a space with craft beer brewing facilities, a tasting lounge, and various outdoor spaces within nature.
The building, located in a meadow surrounded by a pine forest, creates a strong connection to outdoor spaces through the outward massing shape. Intermediate spaces are created between program wings extended toward three directions, and each program wing extends its interior programs to the outside toward nature. In addition, the external circulation that rotates along the building exterior and connects all floors, provides a multi-terrace experience with a panoramic nature view.

[Three program wings]
The three outdoor spaces between program wings are utilized as an entry plaza, a loading and maintenance space adjacent to the brewing/lab room, and a cultivation area, thereby naturally separating the circulation paths of visitors and staffs. In addition, an office wing, a lab wing on the first floor, and a lounge wing on the second floor extend their program activities to the outside, maximizing relaxing experiences within nature.

[Building exterior with vibrant texture]
The use of gray bricks on the building exterior not only provides color continuity with metal finishes of factory facilities nearby, but also creates a calm and solid mass on the natural land, creating its own distinctive characteristics.
The exterior brick details such as stretcher bond, hit and miss brickwork, and angular protruding brickwork are strategically applied to each area, leading visitors along with their distinctive texture and shading effects according to the characteristics of the space. The hit and miss brickwork wall on the external stairs serves as a transition space of entering the second floor brewery and going up to the rooftop terrace, while the horizontally applied angular protruding brickwork finish creates a vibrant shading texture along the curved exterior surface promoting the movement along diverse terraces.
