This petite below-grade wine tasting room was designed to host friends and family with ample seating, thoughtful lighting, and proper wine storage. By designing a custom walnut peninsula and a partially recessed built-in cabinet, we were able to use space effectively. An ebonized oak bench sits between two “floating” wine racks to create more seating while still using negative space in an enclosed room. A bold graphic textile adds some color and inviting texture to this cellar dwelling. This space is truly experiential with function and design at its forefront.
