There’s an old saying that “form follows function.” It’s the idea that a building’s design should fit its intended purpose, and over the years, that’s been the way whisky distilleries were designed by architects like Charles Doig – who developed the pagoda-like chimney vents that are a sure clue you’re looking at a distillery in the distance. There’s a boom in distillery construction around Scotland, and architects are taking cues from the past while designing contemporary distilleries that could be around for the next 100 years or longer. Gareth Roberts is one of those architects, with credits that include Ardnamurchan,?
