Residential Wine Cabinets and Cellars
Rooms in houses and apartments: basement cellars, dining walls and runs built into a stair or a corridor. Two projects are shown in full, with the dimensions and the finishes they were built to. Photographs are of finished rooms; no client is named without permission.
What changes with the room
The frame system is the same on every job. What changes is the height of the display row, the depth available, the door frequency and how light reaches the bottles.
Basement cellars
A whole level, not a room
The largest residential work we do: a basement given over to bottles, usually with a table in the middle of it and the bottle wall running the full length of two or three walls.
Dining and kitchen walls
Read from the table
A cabinet that has to work from where people sit, which changes the height of the display row and the direction the glass faces.
Stairs, corridors and awkward runs
Where nothing is a rectangle
The hardest residential work is not the big wall, it is the run that turns a corner, steps down a stair or fits under a pitched ceiling.
Rooms like these, in detail
Each album takes one scene and works through it: what it is made from, what the build had to solve, and what to copy or avoid if you are planning the same room.
