In the design of the first location of the Moretti distillery, we sought to create its own identity for its family business specialized in the manufacture of draft gin. We took as a starting point the stills, in charge of the gin distillation process, which were traditionally made of copper.
The behind the bar in polished steel and gray tones is inspired by the rigorous laboratory work and perfection carried out in the distillery and the bartenders in their creations. Towards the front, we focus on providing an experience of diverse textures, roughness and transparencies for those who come to enjoy a drink. To do this, we carried out several searches for materials, always with copper as the protagonist.
We found a discarded copper shavings and found a second use for it. It was used both within textured white concrete to clad the front, as well as meticulously encapsulated within the copper colored pigmented resin bar. The passage of lighting through the resin highlights the reliefs of the rustic concrete.
One of the sides of the premises is covered with resin discs that contain botanicals characteristic of the drink inside. These allude to current distillation towers that have portholes to control the manufacturing process.
To emphasize the double height of the space, we highlighted the vertical axis with a gridded tower, where the bathroom and a storage room are hidden. Its opaline acrylic plates with interior lighting generate a warm light that acts as a lighthouse attracting whoever visits the walk.

En el diseño del primer local de la destilería Moretti, buscamos crear una identidad propia para su empresa familiar especializada en la fabricación de gin tirado. Tomamos como punto de partida los alambiques, encargados del proceso de destilación de la ginebra que tradicionalmente eran de cobre.
El detrás de barra en acero pulido y tonos grises se inspira en el riguroso trabajo de laboratorio y perfeccionamiento que llevan a cabo en la destilería y los bartenders en sus creaciones. Hacia el frente, nos enfocamos en brindar una experiencia de diversas texturas, rugosidades y transparencias para quienes se acerquen a disfrutar de un trago. Para ello, llevamos a cabo varias búsquedas de materiales, siempre con el cobre como protagonista.
Dimos con un descarte de viruta de cobre y le encontramos un segundo uso. Se utilizó tanto dentro de hormigón blanco texturado para revestir el frente, como también encapsulada meticulosamente dentro de la barra de resina pigmentada color cobrizo. El paso de la iluminación a través de la resina resalta los relieves del hormigón rústico.
Una de las caras del local se encuentra revestida con discos de resina que contienen botánicos característicos de la bebida en su interior. Éstos, hacen alusión a las torres de destilación actuales que tienen ojos de buey para controlar el proceso de fabricación.
Para enfatizar la doble altura del espacio, remarcamos el eje vertical con una torre cuadriculada, en donde se esconden el baño y un depósito. Sus placas de acrílico opalino con iluminación interior generan una luz cálida que actúa como un faro atrayendo a quien visita el paseo.
