Custom-Built Wine Cellar Features Superior Craftsmanship
2010 NARI CAPITAL COTY FINALIST AWARD WINNER
This project transformed a little-used room in the homeowner’s lower level into an entertainment center, featuring a 1,500-bottle refrigerated wine cabinet, a wet bar, custom-made bookshelves and an entertainment center.
The project started with a rectangular space that was appreciably stripped down, except for the fireplace at the far end. An adjacent room housed a professional pool table.
Custom-built cabinetry spans the length of the wall, with two floor-level cabinets flanking the wine cooler. Above, twin glass-facing walnut displays – lighted and rising nearly to the ceiling – rest on a black marble countertop, showcase the owner’s impressive wine collection.
On the long wall perpendicular to the rack, a widescreen television hangs between two built-in bookcases designed by the contractor. The firm also fabricated the two bookcases now flanking the original fireplace in the far end wall – as well as the glass-faced hanging cabinets which are lighted above the newly installed wet bar.
