This wine cellar was built on the lover level of a residence in Sherwood, OR. The space was literally dug our of a crawl space and constructed from ground up in the sub-terrain to maximize temperature and climate control. The space itself is designed to hold up to 2,000 bottles of wine on the custom built maple framing. The floor is a high gloss polished concrete and the ceiling is overlaid with bronze paneling.

The wall wraps around and dies into a full mirror wall. It looks like a huge room but on the other side is a TV den and large fireplace. The house has a raised floor foundation so we dragged post and pier into the crawl space and shored up the end of the wall to create a load path from the end of the new beam to the ground.

This beautiful new construction craftsman-style home had the typical builder's grade front porch with wood deck board flooring and painted wood steps. Also, there was a large unpainted wood board across the bottom front, and an opening remained that was large enough to be used as a crawl space underneath the porch which quickly became home to unwanted critters. In order to beautify this space, we removed the wood deck boards and installed the proper floor joists. Atop the joists, we also added a permeable paver system. This is very important as this system not only serves as necessary support for the natural stone pavers but would also firmly hold the sand being used as grout between the pavers. In addition, we installed matching brick across the bottom front of the porch to fill in the crawl space and painted the wood board to match hand rails and columns. Next, we replaced the original wood steps by building new concrete steps faced with matching brick and topped with natural stone pavers. Finally, we added new hand rails and cemented the posts on top of the steps for added stability. WOW...not only was the outcome a gorgeous transformation but the front porch overall is now much more sturdy and safe!

The kitchen is open to the family room. Within the family room, cabinets were removed from the west wall to create space for the eat-in dining table. New, freestanding walnut cabinetry separates the back entry from the main space. The walnut built-ins also function as access to the crawl space below through a trap door in the floor of the cabinet.
