Elizabeth Brosnan Hourihan was responsible for the interior design of a top-to-bottom renovation of a seven-story townhouse in Manhattan. It was brought back to its nineteenth-century glory, with period American, English, and French furniture, while incorporating the state-of-the-art systems and amenities that a large family requires. For these clients’ discerning taste, Elizabeth found subtle, fine antique rugs, and nineteenth- and early twentieth-century paintings, sculptures, and prints. The dining room is an especially magical space, because a pièce de résistance was commissioned for it – hand-painted wallcovering panels portraying a verdant eighteenth-century scene is installed throughout the room and creates a calm, harmonious environment all its own. Architect, Claus Rademacher, AIA. Photography, Paul Warchol.

A growing wine collection and a desire to elevate a Vernon Hills basement led to the creation of this custom, temperature-controlled wine cellar. Designed to hold nearly 500 bottles, it transforms storage into an architectural legacy piece. Luxury Elements proudly serves discerning homeowners throughout the North Shore and greater Chicagoland area.
The Challenge
The uniquely shaped room required a fully custom layout to maximize space. Our team navigated the challenging footprint to ensure every inch was functional without sacrificing style—a common requirement in high-end North Shore renovations where basements serve as primary entertainment spaces.
Design & Materials
Style: Traditional wine cellar designed as a statement feature to elevate the lower level.
Racks: Custom red oak wine racks, hand-stained to perfectly match the existing wood ceiling outside the room—demonstrating the level of millwork customization expected in luxury Winnetka, Lake Forest, and Lincolnshire estates.
Exterior: Stone veneer wraps the outside of the cellar, chosen to complement the stone on the basement fireplace for a cohesive, curated look.
Door: Custom metal-framed insulated glass enclosure to display the collection while maintaining precise climate control.
Lighting: Integrated LED lighting highlights the bottles and wood tones, creating ambiance for sophisticated entertaining.
The Result
The finished space exceeded client expectations. By combining precise temperature control with bespoke millwork, the cellar seamlessly integrates with the home's existing architecture, enhancing both daily enjoyment and property value.
Ideal Client
This project is ideal for Chicagoland homeowners looking to turn a functional need into a custom showpiece. Whether you're in Vernon Hills, Lincolnshire, Highland Park, or anywhere along the North Shore, Luxury Elements specializes in building unique, high-end solutions that match the existing architecture of your home—and we can build pretty much anything.
