Stokes Architecture converts whiskey factory into shabby-chic hotel and restaurant
Stokes Architecture has retained the industrial character of this 19th-century whiskey factory in Philadelphia during its conversion into an Italian restaurant and boutique hotel.
The local firm restored and renovated the interiors for Wm Mulherin's Sons, named after the family that ran the former blending and bottling plant as far back as the 1890s.
Four hotel rooms are located on the floors above. Guests check in with the restaurant staff, much like they would at a traditional British pub.
Stokes Architecture's aesthetic for the renovated restaurant is continued in the suites, where historic features are also preserved and touches of Nordic design are added.
"Surrounded by a simplistic old-world colour palette and whimsical wallpaper, each room features a few relics from the building's past ? from a pulley system used for winching heavy loads to a claw-foot bathtub," said the team.
The exposed brickwork, dishevelled timber and antique furnishing all point towards the continuing trend for shabby-chic retreats ? also seen at Soho Farmhouse in the English countryside and converted homestead La Granja Ibiza on the Balearic island.
