Founded in Glasgow in 1850, Edrington is an international spirits company with a growing portfolio of brands. They looked to Gensler to design an office space that would align and centralize their various teams, celebrate the company's story, and elevate their guest and employee experiences.


Located in the Flatiron District, the space's existing columns, hardwood floors, and exposed ceilings were celebrated in the design. Upon entering the space, visitors are invited into a family home where a private elevator opens to a showcase of Edrington's extensive product collection highlighted on backlit glass shelves. Opposite, a custom bar in concrete and reclaimed wood is ready to hold tastings, conduct bartender trainings, and host company events.

The workplace is divided into three neighborhoods surrounded by a variety of collaborative spaces: meeting rooms, a quiet car, and lounges. Offices are minimal and partitioned by glass walls framed in black steel mullions. Additional spaces delve into the Edrington culture and brand: A main corridor displays archival photography and historic advertisements. The Product Library, a central meeting room, features two oak cabinets with copper mesh doors provide an opportunity to showcase the entire Edrington collection.
