This blog is a collection of musings on our on-going research, design, inspiration, books and travel. As only Es Devlin can articulate, “The piece that one makes is the tip of the iceberg of the research that went into it. Allow your research to take you as far as you want; allow one thought to lead to another. Don’t be afraid to go down a rabbit hole of research. Find the patterns.” This is not to claim we are experts on anything included in the following entries, rather life-long learners enjoying the process.

Firefly Distillery Wins National Architectural Woodwork Institute Award of Excellence

April 29, 2021

Thanks to the Architectural Woodwork Institute for recognizing the Firefly Distillery’s interior woodwork design and execution with a 2021 Award of Excellence. The purpose of AWI’s award is to “honor the Architect for design of product, the Owner’s support of the design concept and the Architectural Woodwork Manufacturer for the faithful execution of the design and quality criteria.” Firefly’s new facility certainly had this hat trick of criteria but with a side of craftsmanship, clear communication and trust among all parties; basically, an architect’s dream. The project was featured in the spring issue of AWI’s Design Solutions magazine which can be found here. Thanks to the teams at Lowcountry Case + Millwork and Trident Construction and to our client, Firefly Distillery, for trusting us with your brand and new facility design.

“We wanted to have a rustic feel to stay true to the authentic nature of our brand. Our architect spent a lot of inspirational time at the distillery and brought us many samples of wood from which to choose.”

Jay MacMurphy, General Manager, Firefly Distillery

“We have a great, long-standing relationship with Rush Dixon Architects. Over the years, we have worked on many projects together throughout the Charleston area. We have developed an excellent relationship of collaboration and trust. It was very refreshing to have such openness and flexibility from the architect, general contractor and the Owner on this project.”

David Stasiukaitus, CEO, Low Country Case + Millwork

“Low Country Case + Millwork proved, once again, to be master craftsmen for this project through suggesting detail improvements and impeccable execution.”
