This project is the second phase of a large community developement where the warehouse conversion became the catalyst to transform a derelict industrial district into a residential neighbourhood.  The concrete frame and floors originally built to withstand the immense weight of the liquor vats has permitted the addition of four levels onto the roof of the existing distillery.  A rooftop garden and observation lounge have been added providing outdoor amenity space for a building whose footprint occupies the entire site, while retail uses animate the street level.  The facade articulation borrows from the interior vocabulary of the distillery.  Glazing, column and capitals are reinterpreted on the facade in a composition echoing the original structure of this grand "industrial temple".
