Evan Williams Bourbon Experience

This complicated renovation project included a complete interior and exterior rehabilitation of an existing 6-story and extremely narrow structure on Main Street in downtown Louisville. Inside, the building was transformed to house a Visitors Center with interpretive exhibits, a micro distillery, a gift shop, a “speakeasy” themed event space, and staff offices.

The mechanical systems are an example of how the correct system selection can contribute to the interior feel of a building. The small piping for the VRF/VRV HVAC systems located throughout the building allows for tall ceiling heights. Small VRV units allowed for creative hiding spaces for interior HVAC equipment. Small exterior units fit easily within the confines of the party wall/property line restraints of a downtown historic building.
