Interior architecture
The Macallan Estate’s new TimeSpirit experience is a visionary dining venue that seamlessly blends contemporary design with the estate’s existing architecture. This unique space places the kitchen at its core, inviting guests to witness the innovative culinary processes that embody The Macallan’s ethos. With an abundance of natural light and breathtaking views of the rolling hills of Speyside, the restaurant draws deep inspiration from nature, creating a serene and immersive environment.
TimeSpirit has been meticulously crafted to respect the original architectural vision by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners while addressing modern hospitality needs. The project involved a thorough analysis of the site and surrounding structures, ensuring that the new design feels inherently tied to The Macallan Estate. This design captures the rugged beauty of winter and the lush fields of summer, fostering a deep connection to the land from which the beloved whisky is produced. Ultimately, TimeSpirit enhances the gastronomic adventure, reinforcing The Macallan Estate’s commitment to heritage and excellence while providing an unforgettable journey that celebrates both culinary artistry and the stunning natural surroundings.
The Macallan Estate’s stunning architecture is a canvas for our new restaurant, where we aim to work harmoniously within its spacious existing architecture. Our goal is to create a welcoming atmosphere that enhances the beauty of the space while respecting its surroundings. By focusing on comfort and acoustics, we want guests to feel encouraged to focus while enjoying a unique culinary experience crafted by The Roca Brothers.
