Wine Room Addition
1993 | Del Mar, CA

Wine Room Addition

• This client began collecting wines after we completed a major kitchen remodel and addition that included a small wine cooler installed in the island of the kitchen
• As you can see from these pictures, in a couple years he needed room to store a few more bottles of wine, so we built this temperature controlled wine storage room
• This wine room was created using an existing first floor alcove originally intended as a small patio on the side of the home covered by the second story of the home
• The existing exterior french doors were retained since they were already weather sealed and were dual glazed
• Stained & leaded glass overlay was set on top of the original dual glazing
• A new exterior wall was built directly under the existing second floor wall to create this wine room
• All the walls were heavily insulated and lined with a vapor barrier as if the inside of this room were the exterior of a home
• The interior walls were covered with stucco
• Mahogany wine racks and storage shelving were custom made
• A storage cabinet with stemmed glass holders above was added in the left corner
• A temperature controlled refrigeration unit with venting was installed to maintain an even constant temperature
• Ceiling lighting and a chandelier centered in the room were added
• The client normally keeps a small table and two or three chairs in the room under the chandelier so when the husband and his buddy’s get together they can sit in there and have a cigar while not disturbing the wives
