The dream that the clients brought to Mapos was to create a community-funded and community-driven distillery and tasting room in the most urban corner of Washington, DC. Located in a 2-story former warehouse along the old B&O Railroad Yard, Mapos was able to exercise their core design philosophy of adaptive reuse and leverage the industrial history and continued light industrial use of the site. The result was the largest crowd-funded distillery in the world.
