Brass-framed climate-controlled wine display with backlit onyx, London residence

Bespoke wine cellars · London

Wine does not wait. It answers to the room you keep it in.

Concept design, technical drawing, manufacture and installation. Climate engineered to hold 5-14°C with stable humidity, for collections that are meant to be opened.

The premise

A cellar is not furniture. It is a climate, held steady for decades, wrapped in joinery good enough to sit in a drawing room. We build the climate first. The rest is longevity made visible.

5.0^°C

14.0^°C

Champagne · WhiteRed

Dual-zone refrigeration, not air conditioning. Air conditioning dries a room out and the cork goes with it. Our systems hold humidity as deliberately as they hold temperature.

Typologies

Where a cellar can go

Most homes have the space already. It is usually a study, a landing, the void under a staircase, or a wall nobody has looked at properly.

01Modern Wine WallBuilt-in, temperature controlled, 30cm internal depth. Brass-effect pegs, backlit onyx behind. 02Walk-In Wine RoomA room you enter. Gloss lacquer or timber, retrofitted into games rooms and basements. 03Under-Stairs CellarThe void beneath a staircase, turned into the feature of the hallway. 04Dining Room WallMacassar ebony high gloss on a moisture-resistant core. Storage as the wall itself. 05Basement CellarFull-height racking with case shelving below. Fitted at the end of a major refurbishment. 06Restaurant DisplayDual-zone: 5°C for white and champagne, 14°C for red, in one continuous run. 07Aged Oak CellarTimber racking against brick slip, lower case shelving, warm low-level light. 08Spirits & ChampagneThe same engineering applied to vodka, cognac and champagne walls.

Concept & theme01 / 05

Concept & theme

You bring the theme: colours, finishes, samples, and the room it has to sit inside. We survey the space and work out what it can physically carry, cold and structurally.

Site visit · Sample review

3D design

The design team returns rendered images of the room as it will be built. Revisions are unlimited. Nothing goes to drawing until the render is the room you want.

Full room design from £2,995 +VAT · Display design from £1,995 +VAT

Technical drawing

Dimensioned drawings, cooling load, condensate routing, glass specification, load paths. This is where a cellar stops being a picture and becomes a piece of engineering.

Manufacture begins within 5-6 weeks

Manufacture

Four to eight weeks in the workshop. You are invited to visit part way through and check the piece against the render while it can still be changed.

Factory visit invited

Install & commission

Climate control goes in ahead of the final fit. Once the joinery is set, the system is balanced and the thermostatic controls are commissioned and handed over.

Thank you. This is a design demonstration, so nothing has been sent. On the live site this would reach the studio and be answered within one working day.
