New Build, Tap Room and Retail Store for Lawson’s Finest Liquids

This new build project was hands-on from start to finish and Joanne enjoyed every moment of it. The architect, Austin Designs, created this incredible timber frame design, that Mad River Post and Beam built, that Joanne planned the interior design from… the layout of the bar, bathrooms, seating and retail store. Working hand and hand with the owners, Karen and Sean, Architect, and Builder, together we created a warm and inviting welcoming environment for guests to enjoy their craft beers.

Everything from paint colors, to types of wainscoting, to finishes, fixtures, seating, custom lighting and more…there were hundreds decisions to make. Being able to incorporate numerous local sources and artisans was extra special. From picking local stone, to creating designs for custom furniture pieces, to fabric swatches for chairs…every detail was thought of so guests would have a comfortable, inviting and intimate Vermont experience, while enjoying a delicious craft beer.
