A Broxburn-based distiller has opened a new headquarters in the West Lothian town, adjacent to their existing bottling facility.

Ian MacLeod Distillers has relocated to a 21,000sq/ft steel framed building on East Mains Industrial Estate, distinguished by two modern glass lantern roof lights modelled on the Doig Ventilator or ‘pagoda roof’ common to traditional distilleries.

Two wings of accommodation bisected by a central atrium provide office space, tasting rooms and a bar in the shadow of a shale bing. The design and build contract was delivered by Clark Contracts which also fitted out Peter Russell House with bespoke furniture including a reception desk, boardroom display units and timber screens.

Mike Younger, finance director at Ian MacLeod Distillers, said: “The new office is a transformation from our previous home. It is calming, open, and strikingly spacious. It is key to creating a team spirit and aids collaboration. It is a superb building for welcoming visitors." 

Delivery partners for the £4.5m project included Axiom Project Services, Simon Laird Associates, KJ Tait Engineers, Applied Engineering Design and EPC Associates.

Detailing is key.
Pity it doesn't have any.
Cartoon design.
