and Rossana Hu’s vision was to combine the values of an innovative new brand with the cultural heritage of its location. As a result, The Chuan Malt Whisky Distillery, bridges cutting-edge technology with Chinese tradition, set in its idyllic, rural location.

The architectural site, in the Sichuan province, nestles among a meandering creek and terraced fields overlooked by the imposing and spiritual Mount Emei – a stunning Unesco World Heritage Site – and reflects the traditional Chinese philosophy of the interdependence between mountains and water. This not only presents a deep understanding of nature, but also expresses its metaphorical power. The complex itself symbolises this natural formation in many ways.

There are two visitor-experience centres in the complex, which are graced by strong, primary geometric forms – the circle and the square. The ‘circle’, a tasting-experience building, is partly underground, with five subterranean tasting rooms enveloped by a domed courtyard featuring a central cascading water feature. The top of the dome protrudes slightly above the ground, topped by three concentric brick rings evoking the silhouette of Mount Emei.

The design for The Chuan Malt Whisky Distillery also pays tribute to the site’s natural resources. The boulders taken from the ground when the site was levelled have been recycled to provide infill for the rock walls. In addition, other materials – concrete, cement and stone – are a nod to the minerals that can be found on the site.
