The design draws on the company’s unique blend of heritage, precision and conviviality, creating a series of spaces to work, host, taste, store and experience wine. Between the two historic buildings, a new reception leads to flexible tasting rooms where bespoke sculptural tables with inset spittoons sit alongside rich timber wine storage concealed behind full-height mottled glass doors. A dedicated tasting laboratory provides a functional workspace for sommeliers, carefully positioned to benefit from natural light for accurate colour assessment.

Throughout the building, contemporary interventions form a deliberate counterpoint to the restored historic fabric. A sculptural mezzanine and sweeping micro-cement spiral staircase animate the main office space beneath a restored octagonal skylight, while the former gatehouse has been reimagined as a glass-arched meeting room. Below ground, flexible event and examination spaces are layered with restored Georgian doors, concealed partitions and moments of theatrical surprise, reflecting a business where tradition and innovation sit comfortably side by side.
