Project Reality

Designer Group delivered the MEP fit-out works for the Guinness Open Gate Brewery at Old Brewer’s Yard, Covent Garden. The 5,0000sqm development integrates several historic buildings to create a modern visitor destination combining a working microbrewery with hospitality, retail and public engagement spaces.

Designer Group was proud to support our long-term client, Diageo, in delivering the full MEP fit-out across five buildings forming the new London Guinness experience. Our scope included services supporting the brewery, two restaurants, a bar and retail space, with a strong focus on exposed MEP installations designed to complement the architectural vision. Working within existing structures required carefully developed retrofit solutions, while ensuring the delivery of robust BMS and fire protection systems.

Projects of this scale and complexity, particularly within a constrained and historic environment such as Covent Garden, require strong collaboration, coordination and technical innovation. Designer Group is proud to have played a role in bringing this exceptional destination to life.
