The building is located in Kaliningrad region in old German town which was seriously damaged during World War II. In an empty place adjacent to the railroad a modern plant of brandy production was built. Our task was a warehouse building project which apart from its main function – storing brandy tierces – would serve as a place of meetings and com-munication, guests reception as well as a symbol of creation and rebirth, demonstrating the role of the plant in the city life.

The applied while considering all the parts of the project has led us to creation of an ex-tremely symbolical architectural ensemble.
