WINE ROOM
A look behind the making of a custom oak wine room for a private residence.
The scope of work began with 1,100 CNC’d pieces of interlocking white oak rails, initially resembling a game of jenga.
The casework was made in a series of lower boxes, back panels, one ceiling panel, side panels, and two upper casework panels to ensure the components could be assembled in a way that was feasible on-site within the tight existing area—a careful collaboration between the project team and shop.
Pictured top left, Wood Shop Foreman Jacob Kinney inspects the first mockup for one of 12 cabinets that make up the perimeter of the wine room. When the remainder was assembled, the cabinets standing nearly 8 feet tall were finished in a clear stain, with the cnc’d rails remaining raw.
The bottom half of each cabinet features angled bottle-in pull out drawers and racks. When you walk inside, you can smell the oak! The room was disassembled with each cabinet wrapped individually to be shipped to site and rebuilt.
