Bombay Sapphire Gin Laverstoke Mill Hampshire,

for Thomas Heatherwick Studios, London

This amazing Breeam Award winning project at Laverstoke Mill, has been designed by top British designer Thomas Heatherwick. This was a fantastic opportunity for contemporary British sculptor, Ben Dearnley, to be commissioned to help create the Look of this 'outstanding' site.


Ben says, "I am delighted to have been involved in this extremely high profile project creating the 4m x 3m logo of the Bombay Sapphire Gin company by directly carving this into the wall outside the Mill Bar. The 'Rebuilt By' plaque was also a great addition to the site as that was not on their list, until I brought the idea to the table. To be able to include that along side the original 'Built by 'plaque from the 1700's and the first Rebuilt by plaque from the early 1800's was a great honor for me to add, for that confirmed to me that this wonderful reinvention of  Laverstoke Mill will always be in the History books of Time."
