Hi!

Thank you for visiting Coastal Custom Wine Cellars.

We’ll take you on a short video tour on a project that we recently completed in Beverly Hills.

Now, you might be wondering how in the world we created a wine cellar from this very, very broad canvas, and unfinished area of the home.

This is a photograph that I took the very first day I visited with Catherine Lampson.

Catherine is the interior designer who I worked with and partnered with to complete this project for the home wine cellar design Los Angeles.

We discussed many things such as bottle capacity, some wine cellar design features, some colors, glass walls versus fixed walls.

We had come up with a good plan and eventually get to these 3D visuals; but I want to take you through some of the photographs.

So, once we decided on a few of these key features, we got to working.  We completed the walls so that indeed we had a little bit more of a framework to work within and to install in.

As you can see the back walls are now completed.  It’s been sealed, insulated, and a moisture-proof drywall has been applied and as you can see the line set and electrical has been installed.

The line set is the wine cellar refrigeration lines and condensate drain lines that are needed for the split refrigeration system.

In this case, we used a dual air wine cellar refrigeration product by Arctic Metalworks of Los Angeles.

There’s also an opening for electrical so we dedicated 20m circuit to run through your compressors and your condensers and such.

We made quite a bit of progress over the weeks and as you can see, the finished product is quite a beautiful work.

Catherine and her team took care of the flooring, Coastal Wine Cellars provide the wine rack design for the custom wine racks, the refrigeration by Arctic Metalworks and we have a seamless glass wall and entry, which was provided by our friends at Glass and Door Design of Los Angeles.

We’re really happy with the result of this wine cellar design Los Angeles project and here’s a little bit more completed or finished room appearance with some furniture in it.

We created a complimentary three-dimensional design package for Catherine and her home owners to take a look at.  This gives you a great visual of how the completed project is going to appear.

The total bottle capacities of the wine rack design are posted on the top right of this page which is referred to as the plan view because it’s an overhead view of the wine room.

The entries there at the bottom of the page just below the letter A.  The letter A indicates elevation A, and of course, dimensions are posted around the perimeter as well.

So, let’s take a look at some of these wine cellar design features that were included in it that you saw in the photographs.

We’ll start from the bottom.

Here on the far left and at the far right you will see some icons that represent wood cases.

Those were the openings that we took a look at earlier for bulk storage.

But indeed you can put wood cases in there or simply just about anything you like actually.

All these custom wine racks by the way rest on a 4-inch toe kick.

You can see that from that side elevation on the right.  It’s referred to as “rack left elevation” and you can see that’s toe kick’s four inches.

All the custom wine racks in between the wood cases are 750-milliliter opening, single-bottle storage openings measuring approximately three and three quarter by three and three quarter that translates to “you’ll be enabled to store standard champagne bottles, Oregon pinots, Ross, California Bluechips.”

Very few bottles will not fit into these openings.

Above the wood cases on the very far left and very far right, you’ll notice those little openings are a bit larger.

These are to accommodate 1.5-liter or magnum bottles above the tabletop area in the center, which is an open area with the solid side panels; above that is the louvered grill cover.

This is on a hinge and indeed conceals the mechanical appearance of the fan coil and the evaporator.

The thermostat is located on the left side of the room as you enter.

The label-forward horizontal displays add a nice touch, I think, and it got a lot of character.

These bottles are labeled forward for horizontal displays and enable you to store one bottle and, although, not visible, up to two bottles behind the visible bottle.

So, we were very happy with this wine cellar design project; the clients were thrilled.

We hope you visit us if you have a wine cellar design Los Angeles project at www.winecellarsbycoastal.com.

Cheers!

Wine Cellar Installations California – Laguna Beach Project by Coastal

Wine Cellar Installations California – Laguna Beach Project
.

Hey, we’re in Laguna Beach, California today and we’re going to take a short tour of a wine cellar installations California project that we actually completed last spring, I think April or May.  So let’s walk up the drive and take a look.

A Climate Controlled Wine Cellar – CellarPro Wine Cellar Cooling Units

CellarPro Wine Cellar Cooling Unit

CellarPro Wine Cellar Cooling Unit

We’re standing in the garage, so we’ll talk about the cooling unit.  This is the rear of a self-contained cooling unit.  These CellarPro wine cellar cooling units can deal with temperatures up to 110 degrees external temperature.

We don’t have to worry about it too much because we’re in Laguna Beach.  This is what the back side of the wine cellar cooling unit looks like.

The cut air exhaust comes out from the top here.  This is the filtration system for the intake and this comes in fiber glass replaceable filters or you can get a permanent aluminum frame and an aluminum filter that can be washed.

The Entryway Way – A Dual Paned Glass Wine Cellar Door

Barolo Wine Cellar Door

Okay, let’s take a look at the cellar.  When you come down this hallway it’s a little cramped down here.

The first thing you’ll notice is the wine cellar door that we provided the customer; it’s called a Barolo style wine cellar door.  It’s a dual pane insulated glass and gives a full view into the wine cellar.

All of our doors come with not only the dual pane glass, the stain, the finish, the casement molding (which is the trim around the perimeter of the door), weather stripping, the jamb, automatic door sweeps; in short, this door is ready to drop into any opening.  They are custom built to fit your particular opening.

Wine Storage and Wine Display Furniture

Quarter Round Wine Display Rack

Quarter Round Wine Display Rack

Let’s take a look at the inside of the wine cellar.  First you’ll notice on the left side of the wine room is this beautiful quarter round wine display rack.

Not only can you store large format bottles like 3-liter bottles, but it is also an excellent place to display some decorative items such as decanters.  It just makes a nice finish end to a length or a run.

For the most part these are 750 ml bottle openings.  These openings are 3 3/4″ x 3 3/4″ so they will accommodate just about any size bottle into the opening, including standard champagne, California blue chips, and Oregon Pinots.

Just below the cubbyholes, we’ve got a high reveal wine display row.  These are pitched to a 15 degree angle that not only allows you to show off your favorite labels, but also a good management tool because you can store wines above and below the wine display area.

Custom Sized Openings for Wood Cases

Custom Sized Openings for Wood Cases

At the very bottom, we created custom-size openings for the wood cases that he likes to collect and display.  As we pan towards the back of the wine room, here you can see we have some odd corners and turns that we had to make and so our installer Kyle did a great job in keeping that continuity and flow.

Single Bottle and Bulk Wine Storage

High Reveal and Horizontal Label Forward Wine Display

High Reveal and Horizontal Label Forward Wine Display

As we come to the right side of the wall, it’s more of the same thing – single bottle storage openings and high reveal wine display.  But in this particular wall, just below the display row, we have a horizontal label forward wine display.

Depending on the size of the bottle, this particular bottle is a magnum (or 1.5 L), but if you’re storing Bordeaux style bottles, you can store easily three deep in this particular opening.  So a total of six bottles can be potentially stored in this area.

Just below the horizontal display, we’ve got diamond bins for bulk storage.  This is a great way to manage wines for those of you who buy in 6 packs, 12 lots, that sort of thing.

This is what we call our regular arch, which has a beautiful whittle board effect or appearance and solid tabletop.  We’ve created an opening for puck lights and just above the arch is another horizontal opening for large format displays.

The Arch and Wine Cellar Cooling Unit

The cooling unit, as what we talked about earlier, is a CellarPro self-contained cooling unit.  This does not require professional installation, refrigerant lines, and drain lines.

You simply have the wine cellar installations expert create an opening on the wall, just slightly larger than the actual physical dimensions.  Put it in the wall, seal around it, and plug it in and your wine room’s cool.

LED Wine Cellar Lighting

We will talk a little bit about the wine cellar lighting.  Earlier we mentioned that we provided LED lighting for these display rows, so it will illuminate some of your favorite bottles.

We also included a puck light to illuminate the tabletop area.  The question I get from a lot of folks is what about the light fixtures for the ceiling?  What should I use?

Wine Cellar Lighting System

Wine Cellar Lighting System

Well, the answer is really not an answer because just about any light fixture can be used.  Of course, the height of your cellar would determine that.

In this particular case we were supplied with a low profile track wine cellar lighting and it’s somewhat directional.  Those can be turned to feature any portion of the wine cellar you’d like.

This light fixture here, the LED lights, and these two areas are actually on separate toddles.  Control the mood and the lighting by using one of the appropriate toddles.
