Toorak Cellar

The brief

A cellar is a technical build before it is a beautiful one: vapour control, insulation, cooling and air movement all decided before a single bottle rack is drawn. Working with the client's cooling specialist, we built the envelope first, then set the racking forward of the wall on battens so the Häfele Loox lighting could run continuously behind it.

Double-depth racking on one side, a presentation shelf and a Caesarstone Statuario Maximus tasting bench on the other. Everything in Polytec COMPACT laminate and WOODMATT, because in a room held at 14 degrees, board moves differently.
