The General Assembly位于墨尔本南码头，沿雅拉河享受城市风光，它被誉为是啤酒天堂。设计师希望通过对该黑暗洞穴式建筑的一系列改造，将其变为四季皆宜的啤酒屋，让人全年共享欢乐时光。

Located on South Wharf alongside the Yarra River in Melbourne, The General Assembly is a modern day ‘Church for Beer’. The design challenge was how to convert a vast cavernous space, lined with white plasterboard and pictures of climate change skeptic Lord Monckton, into a warm and inviting pub that would successfully trade through the cold winter months as well as the warmer periods of the year.

木材及镜面装饰，搭配着黄铜和大理石的细节构造，将啤酒屋营造出温暖舒适的亲密质感。挑高的天花板让空间主体回归空间活动本身，同时让屋内环境更加开阔。巨大的黄铜金属铜悬挂在吧台上空，营造出啤酒消费与生产的热闹气氛。

The high level ceiling was blacked out to help control the perceived height of the space, focusing activity at the patron level. Large copper ‘duo tanks’ with exposed beer pipes were prominently located in the air to celebrate the delivery and consumption of beer.

空间中最引人注目的花式吊灯设计灵感来自于圣索菲亚教堂的吊灯装饰，其瞩目的身姿将环境营造得更为宽敞。仔细观察，你才能发现一些吊挂装饰是Carlton Cold的啤酒罐，这些平日里不怎么被人注意的罐子在这里发挥了恰到好处的作用。一些其他的装饰品比如形如巴黎圣母院圆形花窗的立面开口，以及天鹅绒材质的运用，都似乎是对教堂建筑的回应与延续。

Most prominently, a Hagia Sophia inspired steel chandelier was hung from the roof further helping to animate the large space. Only on closer inspection does the punter realise that the light pendants are frosted Carlton Cold bottles putting an otherwise unpopular beer to good use! Other adornments, such as a projection of Notre Dames famous circular window as well as strips of red velvet, have an air of church and confession about them.
