BLØM MEADWORKS
This unique meadery transforms what is expected from a brewery.
The design of meadery Bløm Meadworks introduces its unique brewing process and Michigan-made mead to downtown Ann Arbor. A bright yellow path leads the way through an open display of the mead production process to a modern tap room beyond.
A customized bar station with bright white counter tops and concrete finish front is accented by a soffit of slatted hickory boards. Display shelving around the taproom provides additional textural accents of white painted steel and cherry wood.
Varied seating arrangements ranging from large communal tables to wall-mounted two-top counters creates distinct zones of dining experience, with Synecdoche-fabricated mobile tables accommodating overflow seating.
Acoustic panels in the soffit help with sound absorption while custom-built adjustable shelving allows for flexible reconfiguration of the bar area and merchandise display.
Notes of the brand carry over into meadery where careful arrangement and installation of the equipment was made possible by contractor O’Neal Construction.
