When our clients in Portland, Oregon asked us to transform an incomplete nook of their finished basement into a luxury wine storage and display room, we jumped at the chance.
It’s no secret that we love our wine in the Northwest, and the wet winters we slog through each year are a small price to pay for some seriously drool-worthy vintages. But, when cold days and dark nights are keeping everyone inside, there's no better way to enjoy a glass of wine than by hopping down to your personal wine cellar for that luscious bottle of St. Supéry Estate Élu. No raincoat required.
Previous homeowners had earmarked the space as a wine room, installing the glass doors, flooring and overhead lights, but never completing the project before selling the house. The unfinished space left us ample room to come in and create a style that really suited our clients' taste and decor.
The wine room we designed and built holds up to 650 bottles of wine, with space to stock large format bottles and glassware, adjustable floating glass shelves, plus additional room for wooden wine boxes down below.
Fully clad in Mahogany Sapele with raw steel racks, a display row to highlight favorite bottles, a universal cable racking system, and energy-efficient LED backlighting, the room creates a show-stopping, modern design that fits seamlessly into this stylish Northwest home.
