The Cascade Lakes Brewery in Bend, Oregon, is a modern gathering space that blends Bend’s beloved Pacific Northwest style with industrial, family-friendly charm. Designed with a vision of capturing the spirit of craft brewing while providing a warm, welcoming atmosphere, this space offers a dynamic experience from its ground-level dining area to Bend’s only rooftop bar, overlooking the majestic mountain ranges.

At the heart of the design is an intentional contrast between organic and industrial elements, showcasing Bend’s rugged outdoor culture alongside a touch of urban sophistication. The layout itself is a thoughtful interplay of social and intimate spaces, inviting guests of all ages to explore and discover each unique corner. Wood mosaics wrap the booth walls and main bar, lending a textured warmth that anchors the space, while metal accents throughout bring in a contemporary, industrial edge. Repurposed brewing equipment is subtly woven into the space, creating an homage to the brewing process that ties the aesthetic directly to its purpose and tables crafted from old bottle caps nod to the rich legacy of craft brewing, while custom light fixtures lend a playful ambiance that changes from day to night.

A custom topographic map wallpaper wraps selected walls, blending seamlessly with a hand-painted mural that brings the map to life, evoking a sense of place and adventure. The hallway leading to the restrooms, an arched walkway covered in mirrored tiles creates a surprising, playful transition, reflecting light and movement.

Adding further depth to the design with the intentional selection of textures, colors, and finishes that create harmony without sacrificing uniqueness. Leather booths offer a tactile comfort, while the variety of textures - tile, wood, metal, and leather - ensures that the space feels layered and thoughtfully curated. Each detail, from the distinctive lighting to the bottle-cap tabletops and the wood panels, is crafted to enhance the brewery’s unique identity.
