Restoration of historic buildings: Moritz Brewery by Jean Nouvel, Strasbourg, France

Moritz Brewery in Strasbourg

At the entrance, guests of the brewery are welcomed by a vertical garden created by Parisian botanist Patrick Blanc. An open staircase leads to the second floor where there is an alfresco terrace, museum, gastronomy room and workshop. On the first floor – M store with bar offering more than 400 products as well as Moritz bar, water tank and of course the mini brewery with a capacity of 60 hectoliters of unpasteurized beer per year. The underground halls became the new cultural center; there is now a stylish restaurant and kitchen, a large multifunctional exhibition area, conference rooms and a performance corner for large and small auditoriums.

New reinforced concrete supports help spread the load more evenly. Slender reflective columns support black iron crossbars, and glass inserts give the structures a futuristic look.
