This Residential Custom Wine Cellar project in Chicago, Illinois, presented several design challenges as there where a number of unusual constraints we had to deal with due to the unusual nature of the room to be converted. As it was situated under some stairs, it had a sloping ceiling and a very odd angled shape. Custom wine cellars like this can be particularly tricky to design.
Our challenge was how to build a wine room that would be great looking, have a full wine cellar cooling system whilst also maximizing its wine storage capacity. To get the best design we possibly could, we made full use of our creative team to produce several three dimensional drawings, trying different layouts until we found the optimal wine cellar design.
One of the more interesting design elements that we used to create a great presentation of the wine bottles was to make use of lattice horizontal wine racking. Horizontal wine racks are great because they can be several or just single deep. Three deep measures 131/2 ” or if single, they only measure 6″ in depth. This allowed more storage and display racking where otherwise there would simply not have been enough room to have storage on both walls. Horizontal style wine racks also have the benefit of a label forward presentation of the wine bottles making it very easy to manage a wine collection.
Where the ceiling slanted under the stairs we waterfalled standard 750ml wine racking. We added to this a high reveal display row with special LED wine cellar lighting for aesthetic purposes and to allow the presentation of selected wines. All the custom wine racks had crown and base moldings added with a toe kick to bring the racks off the floor. These extra elements really finish the racks and create a fully customized look. Lastly we added a triangular shaped quarter round display shelf set for continuity between racks and to allow further feature displays. All the wine cellar racks were constructed in mahogany and left unfinished.
Wine cellar doorsare also very important in that they need to insulate and completely seal the wine room’s cooled climate from the rest of the house. This door was a purpose built Tuscan custom wine cellar door. It had arched dual pane glass, finished with a hand forged wrought iron grape vine design, creating a stunning entry to the wine cellar. The wrought iron can of course be fully opened for cleaning purposes.
The wine cellar refrigeration system we used was an RM 2600 cooling unit from wine cellar refrigeration systems. The advantage of the split systems for wine cellar cooling is that less space is taken up in the wine cellar itself. They can also be significantly quieter and more efficient than self-contained wine cooling systems. We also constructed a housing and a custom grill cover for the wine cellar cooling unit from the same material the wine racks were manufactured from, thereby making the cooling system virtually invisible.

This 12,000 bottle wine cellar was created to house a collection of both rare and everyday wine for an avid oenophile. Designed for the basement of a country house, the stone walls and wood beam and plank ceilings are meant to evoke the foundations and framing of the house above; while the antique furniture and lighting were selected to give the rooms a European ambiance.
The wine shelving, backlit with fiber optic lighting, was fabricated from antique oak and sized to accommodate both individual cases (on specially-made runners) or loose bottles, grouped together by wine type and vintage. Custom slate tablets were made to label groupings of vintages.
The oval tasting table along with all of the custom iron work were designed by the firm and fabricated for this project. A back room designed for bulk storage is built around a large mobile shelving system, customarily used in libraries, set in tracks and allowing more compact storage in the limited space.
These cellar cubes are made from grade A Pine (furniture grade), this ensures a fine quality and lasting finish.
While made of pine, a wide range of stain effects are available with this wine cellar cube to offer a suitable finish for any home.
Natural Pine, Oak stain, Mahogany stain, Dark Oak stain and Black stain finishes are all available. A Stain Chart is shown to illustrate these finishes and help you select the one that is perfect for your Wine Cellar.
Please note that this cube is made to order and is normally available within 10 - 14 days from date of order.
superimpose architecture has designed an exclusive members club and hidden wine cellar for a wine enthusiast. the project is situated at the top floor of one of beijing’s latest and most high-end tower developments, the genesis community. genesis beijing is a mixed-use development combining a hotel, offices, gardens and a museum by japanese architect tadao ando. the member’s club will only be accessible to a private and selected group of members.
the member’s club is where the client organizes gatherings and stores and consumes his valuable wine and tea collection. chinese based design studio superimpose architecture‘s project is divided by a central element creating two distinctive worlds: the client’s office space and the private club. associates enter through a hidden pivot-door into the exclusive club that instantly offers spectacular views over beijing’s embassy and financial districts. the golden stainless steel central element subtly reflects the skyline and naturally forms a backdrop of the entire member’s club.

a segment of the central divider is constructed with dark-mirrored glass which reflects the skyline and hides the ‘sky cellar’. this piece has been designed to be a reinterpretation of the traditional wine cellar. members access the hidden exclusive area through the automated sliding glass doors. the 25 sqm cellar stores up to 500 bottles of wine from six famous regions around the world — bordeaux, rhone valley, burgundy, napa valley, mosel and barolo. during day time, the mirrored glass doors hide the wine cellar and protects it from direct sunlight. the mirror doors allow members to admire both the wine and skyline whilst being inside the cellar. at sunset and during evening hours, it lights up and reveals the 500 wine bottles to the main space.

an abstract representation of the six wine regions is installed underneath a glass floor with automated light. superimpose architecture has designed the maps and constructed them by using concrete ash mud for the topography and stainless steel for the rivers. within the stainless-steel shelves, an acrylic base is being used and designed in such a way that it allows for multiple storing positions of the wine bottles. bottles can be displayed and stored either stacked or inclined to display the bottle etiquette. at the same time the acrylic base allows for an optimized light distribution inside the wine cellar.
