In one of our wine cellar construction projects, we installed a glass home wine cellar in an open curved space. As one of the master builders in Vancouver, nothing could hinder us from building exceptional custom wine rooms.  

Before creating the design, we conducted a survey of the area to be utilized for the build-out project. We took measurements and created a design that would bring the owner’s space into a stunning wine display.  

We created 3-dimensional drawings showing the different elevations, racking dimensions, bottle configurations, door design, and placement of the door and wine cooling unit. We submitted our design proposal and waited for the approval of the client before starting the installation of the wine cellar.  

Glass Enclosure Perfect for a Modern Custom Wine Cellar

The glass door was the perfect choice for a modern wine cellar like this. In our original draft, the glass enclosure had a frame. However, the owners did not like the thick frame, so we    

went for the frameless glass enclosure. The result was impressive! The frameless glass is 12 mm thick, done as Starphire low iron glass.  

The glass enclosure is visible because of the thin mohair low-pile weather stripping around the door. This mechanical feature creates an airtight seal, preventing air leakage through the gaps.

One of the projects completed by Blue Grouse Wine Cellars was in West Vancouver. They met with the homeowners to gather the information necessary to create a modern wine cellar design that stands out. 

There was an unused space in the client’s home, which they wanted to utilize and transform into functional wine storage and display area. The unenclosed nook has a curved wall and was originally a space for relaxing with a glass of wine. The couple contacted Blue Grouse Wine Cellars to help them build a wine room for their collection.  

This residential wine cellar has Red Oak millwork installed on the curved back wall. The wood wine racks were stained and lacquered to create a lustrous look. The Blue Grouse team incorporated an archway at the center of the wine room. It comes with a small countertop that provides space for displaying a few bottles and serving wines. There are rectangular openings above it.

If you have a growing wine collection and your existing wine storage room cannot accommodate your bottles anymore, you must invest in a bigger residential wine cellar. Working with a master builder will ensure that all of your requirements are provided.    

The owners of a beautiful condominium located overlooking the ocean on Beach Avenue in Vancouver reached out to Blue Grouse Wine Cellars, one of our partners in wine cellar construction. They needed help renovating their custom wine cabinet into a wine cellar with a higher bottle capacity.   

The Blue Grouse team assessed the needs of the client with keen attention to detail. They created a well-thought-out plan for building a wine storage structure that would keep the wine safe for many years to come and allow the homeowners to display their favorite vintages beautifully.

We will give you a tour of an inspiring project completed by Blue Grouse Wine Cellars, one of our partners in wine room construction. This creative team built a stylish home wine cellar in Vancouver with elegant features, including wood wine racks, LED lighting, glass door, and flooring.    

Traditional Home Wine Cellar in Vancouver Built by Blue Grouse Wine Cellars 

Blue Grouse Wine Cellars is known for its expertise and passion for building wine rooms. For many years, their team has transformed spaces into eye-catching wine storage and display areas. We have been working with them for many years, providing a worry-free experience to each client.  

In one of their recent projects, they designed a beautiful home wine cellar in Vancouver. The homeowners wanted a traditional design using wood wine racks. The expert builders came up with a wine storage design for 420 bottles, and the end product was impressive!  

The room measures 119” W x 43” D x 102” H, is located on the main floor beside the bar area adjacent to the stairs. A design was created based on the assessment conducted by Blue Grouse Wine Cellars.   

Wine Rack Features 

Blue Grouse Wine Cellars installed custom wine racks so the client could incorporate features they desire for their wine room. The racking design and material play a significant role in achieving the overall appeal of the wine cellar.  

Using Oak for the Racking Material  

In this traditional home wine cellar project in Vancouver, the Blue Grouse team installed wood wine racks made from Oak. Wood is known for its timeless appeal and ability to create a warm ambiance and classic touch to wine cellars. It can also blend well with any existing décor. The client’s home has a modern design, but they wanted to have a traditional wine cellar. Wood wine racks look perfect! 

Oak is a durable and versatile hardwood known for its unique grain patterns and ability to take stains well. It can withstand high humid conditions in refrigerated wine cellars and is highly resistant to mold and mildew. Blue Grouse Wine Cellars applied the wine racks with a dark brown custom finish to achieve a richer look.      

Racking Styles

When designing the wine racks, it is vital to consider the sizes of the bottles intended to be stored in the wine room. In this traditional home wine cellar in Vancouver, Blue Grouse Wine Cellars combined various racking styles to create an exceptional wine display.  

Elevation A 

Elevation A is the back wall or the wall across the doors. It consists of the longest racking in the wine cellar. Blue Grouse Wine Cellars included individual wine racks on the left and right sections of the wall and angled display rows at the middle of the racking. Below the display rows are diamond wine racks.   

They also added a floor-to-ceiling single-deep horizontal display rack at the center of the wall, flanked by quarter-round display shelves. These shelves are intended for displaying stemware, decanters, and other wine accessories and accouterments.  

Elevation B  

Elevation refers to the right wall of the wine cellar. It consists of individual wine racks at the top section, an angled display row in the middle, and wood case storage bins (with adjustable selves) at the bottom.   

Wine Cellar Lighting System, Door, Wall, and Flooring 

Installing the proper wine cellar lighting system will illuminate your wine cellar and wine collection effectively. Blue Grouse Wine Cellars installed an LD lighting system above the display rows. The pot lights on the ceiling were installed by our partner in this project.

A homeowner in West Vancouver wanted to build a custom wine cellar utilizing wood for the racking material. Blue Grouse Wine Cellars were pleased to work on this project. The challenge was to meet the high expectations of the client, being an expert in the interior design industry. With extensive experience and creativity in building wine cellars, they were able to provide all of the requirements of the owner.

Building a Personalized Residential Wine Cellar for an Interior Designer

At Custom Wine Cellars Vancouver, we work with Blue Grouse Wine Cellars in providing practical yet exceptional wine storage solutions. Blue Grouse Wine Cellars have been in the construction industry for 20 years, serving clients within Canada.

They guide our clients to help them transform a spare room into an impressive wine storage facility. They assess the client’s needs so they can create a design that will suit their budget, space, and aesthetic requirements.

Recently, an interior designer in West Vancouver approached them to seek a little help in building a custom wine cellar in their luxurious home.

Combination of Traditional and Modern Design for a High-End Home

The room used for this project is like a hallway. It is 96” high, 102” wide, and 87 1/2“ long. The area looks like a cathedral because the ceiling in the middle is higher than the ceiling of the sidewalls. The metal chandelier hanging from the ceiling added a European appeal to the space.

There are two long walls, with a door on both ends of the room. The owner chose the door for this wine cellar.

Assessment of the Client’s Needs

The first step in constructing a traditional wine cellar is to know the specific needs of the customer. There are questions that the builders need to answer to help them create a design that will suit the client’s needs.

On this project, Blue Grouse Wine Cellars needed the following information:

  • how the owner buys her wines (by the bottle or in bulk)
  • the sizes of bottles that the client intend to be store and display
  • the overall appeal that the owner wants for her wine cellar

Stylish Wine Rack Features

After obtaining the important details from the owner, Blue Grouse Wine Cellars suggested custom features to be incorporated into the racking design.

They were able to determine the most suitable type of bottle orientations, lighting system, racking material, and flooring. The racking styles on both walls are the same to achieve symmetry.

When choosing a material for the wine racks, your builder must complement the existing home décor and know the aesthetic preference of the owner. On this project, the single-family home has a luxurious interior design. The owner wanted an old-world look, so Blue Grouse Wine Cellars chose the type of wood that would achieve this.

Characteristics of Knotty Alder

To blend well with the classic theme of the home, Blue Grouse Wine Cellars decided to use Knotty Alder for the wine racks.

This wood species is known for its beautiful knots and clusters. They applied the wood with a deep brown stain and did not use lacquer, bringing out the rustic appeal in wine racks.

Knotty Alder is also highly resistant to rot and mildew, making it an ideal material for residential custom wine cellars equipped with a cooling system. With proper care, wine racks constructed from this wood can store and display your collection for many years.
