WINE CELLAR, 2010 NARI CAPITAL COTY FINALIST AWARD WINNER The homeowners wanted to include a wine cellar in their basement remodel, which also involved converting their basement into an adult game room and socializing space. Because they enjoyed visiting wineries and tasting wines, and were well on their way to having their own collection of fine wines, they decided to convert their old storage area into a wine cellar. The project includes several nice touches including the faux wine barrel painting on the overhead ceiling bulkhead. Wine racks are custom designed to fit the ceiling, offer different types of storage and a pleasing pattern. The wine tasting bar is decorated with the mural, and has a curved granite top and carved wooden arch that make it unique. The tile floor is bright and easy to clean, and resembles limestone. The wine cellar also touts a custom glass door motif and curved end storage shelving. The cellar has its own climate control, and the door has double paned glass with extra insulating strips around the edges to help keep the temperature constant between the cellar and the adjoining basement room.

The kitchen features custom cabinetry by Silver Bell in Benjamin Moore AF-720 “Sparrow” in a satin gloss finish, with no-added-formaldehyde boxes and Greengaurd certified water-borne finishes. Floor joists from the previous house were recycled into open wood shelving. The cooktop is an electric induction type—the most efficient way to cook with electricity, and loved by chefs for its sensitivity. Air quality is controlled by the recirculating charcoal filter hood and continuous 36cfm exhaust to the ERV system from this room. ERIC HAUSMAN PHOTOGRAPHY

Rustic elegance describes this wine room which is located in Burr Ridge, Illinois. Starting with the ledge stone entrance, two sconces, two arched knotty elder windows and door. The wine room was designed for an owner with an incredible wine collection of over 2500+ bottles and it is fully equipped with a climate control system that provides consistent storing conditions and allows wine to age at an elegant pace. The wine racks, walls, and ceiling were made of Redwood, a type of wood that is highly durable and perfect for long-term wine storage. This traditional wine cellar was built with many features including waterfall tier magnum racking, library style floor to ceiling wine racks, as well as wine case storage, horizontal and high reveal displays. This custom wine cellar is truly a masterpiece.
