The project adopts a retrofit approach that incorporates existing structures while adding new floorspace and landscaping

Ritchie Studio has completed a ten-year year project to reimagine the listed Simonds Farsons Cisk brewery site in Malta.

The practice won an invited competition to masterplan the site in Mriehel in 2013 and the building was officially inaugurated in late June 2023.

The client’s aspiration was to retain the site’s heritage, while reinventing it as a contemporary space for commercial and cultural activities. It is hoped that the redevelopment will attract a mix of Maltese entrepreneurs, international organisations and tourists.
