Sector
The Scottish Festival of Architecture 2016 was a year-long, nation-wide celebration of architecture and design, led by the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS).
As part of the Festival, we were commissioned by the Glasgow Institute of Architects to design, brand and package their festival ale, Architect IPA, made specially by Drygate Brewery to be sold at events throughout the year.
Identity
Following GIA’s competition to select six of the nation’s favourite architects, we created a visual identity, colour palettes, illustrations and motifs, that referenced the respective style of each of the chosen architects.
Our design approach conveys the vision of the project — placing Scottish architectural talent at the front and centre of the celebrations.
Packaging
We designed bespoke packaging for the range of beers, which included bottle labels as well as fold-out wraps for each architect.
Exhibition
We collaborated with Dress for the Weather to design a bespoke pop-up bar, which appeared at various events throughout the year.
We also designed and produced a range of merchandise to promote the project at events across the country.

The success of the Architect Ales project can be attributed to the design work provided by Graphical House. The team at Graphical House tackled our brief with professionalism and creativity throughout.
