SPIRAL CELLARS DELIVERS LUXURY WINE STORAGE
Spiral Cellars Custom designed with room with 3rd party manufacture and installation
We were contacted by a Buckinghamshire based client with regards to providing wine storage for a newly acquired second property.
The intention was that this property would become his main residence, but before that could happen, the impressive Victorian building would need major renovation work. Part of this would include the provision of wine storage in which to house the client’ s liquid assets.
In order to ensure delivery of professional level cellaring conditions in a residential setting, the client was adamant that a specialist cellaring company should manage this aspect of the build, working alongside the overall project build team. As such, he approached Spiral Cellars.
The brief The primary purpose of the wine space was to provide. optimal environmental cellaring conditions. Equally important was creating an elegant interior feature that was in keeping with the traditional feel of the property.
After discussing the size and nature of the clients existing wine collection and anticipated future growth, a 600 bottle cellar capacity was agreed upon. The assumption was that the bottles would be mostly Bordeaux and Burgundy, though a small allowance should be made for case storage as well as loose champagne and magnums.
The design concept
We met with the client, his architect and his contractor at the property before any building work had begun. With plans still at the early stage, we were able to suggest several possible locations that would work with the flow of the house. Whilst the property was substantial in size, the client did not want to dedicate an entire room to wine storage. Various options were discussed before agreeing upon a space-saving, high-capacity wine wall as the best solution – to be situated at the end of a long hallway in what would eventually become a home office.
