A closet that becomes a cellar

Wine Closets

The 1,200 × 600 mm closet nobody uses, converted into a cooled wine store: insulated lining, a glass door, a bottle wall and a small split unit in the ceiling void.

What this one is

One page inside the by room and position group — a closet that becomes a cellar. What follows is how it meets the wall, how the rows are pitched, and what the drawing has to settle before anything is cut.

Where it goes

It is built into the joinery, flush with the surrounding panels.

It is part of a walk-in room, where the cabinet becomes the walling.

It is built with integrated cooling rather than a separate chiller.

Bottle fit and cradle pitch

Capacity for this model runs 60 – 400 bottles. If your count sits outside that band, the band moves rather than the room: the module count and the cradle pitch are what change, not the finish or the frame.

What the drawing fixes

Everything on the drawing comes back to four numbers: capacity 60 – 400 bottles; lead time 35 – 50 days. Change one of them and it is a different cabinet, drawn again rather than stretched. Closet conversion · Built-in · Cooled are the mounting conditions this one is drawn for.

Questions

Before you order a wine closets

Where does the condenser go?

Into the ceiling void, an adjacent cupboard or through the wall to a service space. It is the first question we ask, because without somewhere for the condenser a closet cannot be cooled quietly.

Does the closet need to be stripped out first?

The existing linings come out and the floor stays. If the closet sits on a suspended timber floor we check the point load before specifying a bottle wall.

Can the door be a normal closet door?

It can, but then you lose the point of the room. A glass door in a stainless frame is what makes a closet read as a cellar rather than as a cupboard.

Send the wall, not the wish list

Three photographs and the bottle count is enough for a scheme and a fixed price.
