Visitor Journey
Upon arrival, guests will have sight-lines through
the glazed entrance to a large sculptural feature
representative of
The Loch Lomond Group
(eg. stag, copper abstract sculpture etc).
Staff kitchen & store
The reception lobby will set the scene with footage of the
surrounding area projected onto the central curved copper
wall. A limited retail display will showcase the portfolio of
products.
The tasting bar is located in the heart of the ground floor,
with a curved backdrop, again setting the scene of the
surrounding Lomond area to keep the connection with the
natural environment.
To the rear of this, a more secluded lounge space provides
an opportunity for a more formal or intimate tasting.
Guests would be invited to experience the brand story
and distilling process at the far end of the building, with
immersive audio visuals and bold graphic interpretive
displays, complete with a scale model of copper stills.

Visitor Journey / Staff Facilities
Guests can be led up the public stairwell into
the auditorium, where an immersive AV could
continue the whisky making process with a focus
on the craft of cooperage. This is a fl exible space
which has the potential to display the latest
products of the Loch Lomond Group for marketing
launch events, and also be utilised by the office
staff on this floor.
The fi rst floor houses office and work spaces for
the Loch Lomond Group, complete with open plan
spaces as well as more private meeting rooms
and breakout spaces. Guests to the building will
not have sightlines into these spaces.

Staff Facilities
The second floor is a continuation
of the offi ce spaces, including a
common area and kitchen for staff
breaks as well as a private shower/
changing room and board room.
It is proposed that the communal
area would have an informal feel,
allowing staff to relax and interact
with colleagues.

VIP Facilities
The third floor provides an exclusive
facility for VIP guests. Special
tastings with views to Loch Lomond
and Ben Lomond would be a unique
experience. This space allows
the guest and their host to meet
in a private lounge within a truly
memorable setting. The view from
the balcony would be the culmination
of the guest experience on this fl oor.

There are opportunities around the site
to use dynamic signage for a sense
of place, as well as more directional
signage for site routing.
We have indicated some initial
ideas for locating such signs, as
well as including mood imagery on
the following page for look & feel
reference.
