Wiper & True Taproom - Bristol, UK

Design / Development / Landscape Design
Studio B is a longstanding client I’ve had the pleasure of working with on many projects over the years. They’re known for some of the most creative work in the South West, with a client list any studio would envy. It’s always an exciting opportunity when a new brief comes through.

The brief from Wiper & True was to transform a former industrial shell into a welcoming, green space that evoked calm, emphasised community, and unmistakably reflected the identity of Wiper & True. Our approach centred on softening the rawness of the existing structure by introducing natural light, abundant planting, and warm, tactile materials to bring balance and comfort to the space.

A bold steel partition separates the brewery from the taproom. This divides the two areas while maintaining a strong visual connection between them. Outside, what was once a car park is now one of the greenest beer gardens in the city. A timber and corten steel fence, covered in climbing plants, surrounds the area and creates a peaceful escape from the surrounding estate. Raised steel beds and winding paths carve out smaller, more intimate pockets, ideal for enjoying a drink in the Bristol sunshine.

Since opening, the venue has become a vibrant hub for the local community, hosting yoga sessions, pop-up markets, and live gigs. You can check out their Instagram here.

The taproom’s interior reflects the brand’s commitment to community, sustainability, and accessibility. Materials were sourced within a 30-mile radius, and thoughtful design details like low-level bars for wheelchair users, Braille signage, and moveable furniture make the space inclusive and flexible.

The result is a taproom that feels grounded, generous, and full of character. It's a space people want to return to, again and again.
