Coopers Brewery Brand Home – Regency Park, SA

Architectural Vision

Designed by Studio Nine Architects and constructed by Built Australia, the building’s distinctive circular form reflects the cylindrical elements of brewing and Coopers’ iconic roundel logo. Responding to its industrial setting, the material palette is restrained and robust, reflecting precision and craftsmanship integral to Coopers’ identity. The design features a continuous curved concrete façade complemented by aluminium framing, glass, steel, copper accents, and solid timber, delivering durability and refined detailing throughout.

Key Features

– Immersive Visitor Experience: Restaurant, bar, private tasting room, interactive museum, and tiered outdoor plaza.
– Innovation in Brewing: A curved microbrewery with full-height glazing offers theatre and transparency, allowing guests to witness the brewing process.
– Whisky Distillery & Stillage: Coopers’ first whisky production facility, housing 5,000 barrels underground, meticulously planned for safety and operational efficiency.
– Elevated Glazed Bridge: A 50-metre structure linking the Brand Home to corporate facilities, integrating historical storytelling with functional infrastructure.
