The New Campio Brewing Co. Craft Brewery and Restaurant was a fast-tracked renovation of an existing turn of the century brick warehouse in Edmonton’s arena district. Renovations transformed a dated two-storey into a modern brewhouse that supports brewing operations next to lively dining areas.
The lower level is dedicated to fermentation and barrel storage visible to an adjacent dining area made up primarily of community tables. The main floor accommodates the brewhouse, a large central bar and dining room. The previous kitchen was maintained in its existing location to take advantage of established services but upgraded with new pizza ovens and easy access for mobile order couriers.
Expressing local character was an important consideration for the interior design. The owners’ corporate branding reflects the unique identity of Edmonton and distinguishes it from the company’s other facilities in different Alberta locations. Group2 developed the interiors from the brand concept which is a unique blend of 1940s style with modern themes. Historically appropriate colors and textures are reinterpreted with large graphic elements that playfully fit within the historic shell of the building.
