Situated in the basement of a property, our latest project demonstrates how even the most unique and challenging spaces can be transformed into functional, elegant wine cellars. The narrow layout and arched ceiling posed two distinct design challenges, yet our team was able to expertly navigate these through bespoke solutions.

On one side of the cellar, we opted for scallop racking, integrated with LED lighting. This choice allows for a visually stunning display of bottles, while offering a storage solution tailored for spaces where standard racking wouldn’t fit. On the opposite side, the cellar features an intelligent layout: cases of wine are stored at the bottom, while standard and angled racking sits above. Double-depth racking creates a convenient ledge, an ideal spot for opening and pouring wine, effectively maximising every inch of available space.

This basement wine cellar has the integration of our unique temperature control system. Custom-designed to maintain a stable atmosphere, the system ensures that the wines are stored in optimal conditions, regardless of the external environment. This project exemplifies our commitment to custom-designed wine cellars that not only meet but exceed functional and aesthetic expectations. From the use of scallop racking and integrated lighting to our specialised temperature control, every element has been carefully considered to turn a challenging space into a showcase for both wine and design.
