The Taproom has been created in one of the buildings of the historic Tenczynek Brewery, serving as a new showcase for the revitalized location. The centerpiece of the premises is a column finished with burgundy, handmade ceramic tiles, featuring 14 taps that allow visitors to pour themselves any desired amount of beer or vodka. A special highlight of the venue is the distillation equipment, alembics and vats displayed behind a glass partition, serving as the main decoration of the space.
The main objective of the project was to establish a distinctive flagship gastropub and enhance the artisanal character of the local Brewery. The new premises have been arranged in a vaulted historical space adjacent to the brewery's beer lagering rooms. The architects aimed to blend the old raw interior with a contemporary design, collaborating with local artisans.
The base for all elements is an oak floor that extends onto the walls, forming oak benches and furniture. To expand and illuminate the space, mirrors and steel shelves have been added to the brick arcade.
Handmade clay lamps, suspended low over the tables, enhance the venue's intimate atmosphere. The entrance hall showcases a unique installation of several hundred copper plaques, engraved with the names of individuals who contributed to the venue's creation through a crowdfunding campaign.
All added elements were crafted using natural materials such as oak wood, handmade ceramics, steel, and glass. The majority of these elements were created by Polish craftsmen, based on the Projekt Praga projects. In the existing space, minimal interventions were made to respect the architecture and for ecological reasons. The old walls were stripped of old tiles, with minimal finishing interventions to reduce the scope of work and the use of construction chemicals. This approach helped minimize construction waste and the building's carbon footprint.
