Designlines Magazine Features Avling Kitchen & Brewery in “At Avling, Good Design Is Always on Tap”
Avling Kitchen & Brewery by LAMAS was featured in Designlines Magazine in an article titled “At Avling, Good Design Is Always on Tap.” The project is located in Toronto’s Leslieville neighbourhood and was presented as part of the publication’s coverage of contemporary hospitality interiors in the city.
The feature focuses on the adaptive reuse of a former industrial building that has been reworked into a combined brewery, restaurant, and rooftop farm. It highlights how the design integrates food production and hospitality within a single continuous environment, with brewing equipment and agricultural systems made visible as part of the interior experience.
The project is described through its layered spatial organization, where production, preparation, and public dining are closely interwoven. The rooftop garden extends the building’s program into cultivation, reinforcing a direct relationship between agriculture, brewing, and consumption within one architectural framework.
