Vancouver Basement Wine Cellar Design and Construction

A wine enthusiast decided to create a basement wine cellar in their new home. His collection was growing, so he thought it was an excellent idea to invest in a climate-controlled wine room designed to store wines correctly and display them beautifully.

He sought the help of Blue Grouse Wine Cellars, one of the most reliable builders in Canada. With many years in the wine cellar construction industry, the team has proven their expertise and creativity in building eye-catching custom wine cellars.

Before creating a design proposal, they conducted an assessment to gather important information that would affect the overall functionality and appeal of the wine room. They conducted an on-site visit to check if the basement was a good location for a wine cellar build-out. They also measured the area to be utilized for the project and discussed all of the client’s requirements.

Designing the Vancouver Basement Wine Cellar

After a careful assessment of the owner’s needs, Blue Grouse Wine Cellars started creating 3-dimensional images. These drawings consist of the different wine room elevations, bottle capacities, room dimensions, racking styles, and door design.

The goal was to create a design that would fit 1,200 bottles. Since the client had bottles of various sizes, we tailored the wine storage system to accommodate standard and non-standard bottles. The Blue Grouse team had to build a wall in front to fully enclose the space. The wall panels are made of beeswax walnut wood, the same material used for the racking.

The owner wanted a traditional wine cellar design with wooden wine racks. Different bottle configurations were combined to create a unique wine display and maximize the storage capacity of the wine room. One of the features of this basement wine cellar is the lit bulkhead that lines the top of the wine racks.

Back Wall: the Focal Point of the Basement Wine Cellar

The back wall is the focal point of the Vancouver basement wine cellar. It consists of a peninsula wine rack intended to display the bottles in cascading manner and add character to the residential wine room. This section has bottle openings for storing large-format bottles horizontally. There is a wooden louvered grill cover at the top of it to conceal the evaporator of the wine cooling unit. The wine room looks more elegant without any visible equipment.

Blue Grouse Wine Cellars also incorporated individual wine racks and high-reveal display rows on both sides of the waterfall racking. The display rows pitch the bottles at an angle to keep the cork moist. Adding a lighting system above them highlights the bottles beautifully.

Transforming a space into a stunning wine storage and display area requires knowledge and expertise. In North Shore, Canada, the owners of a beautiful home sought the help of Blue Grouse Wine Cellars to build their modern wine cellar in a small space. Learn the features incorporated into the design to create an elegant appeal.

Building a Modern Home Wine Cellar in North Shore

At Custom Wine Cellars Vancouver, we work with top-notch builders like Blue Grouse Wine Cellars. For many years, they have proven their reliability and expertise in wine cellar design and construction. In one of their projects in North Shore, they converted a small space into a modern home wine cellar. Space constraints did not hinder the Blue Grouse team from creating an exceptional design.

Assessment and Planning Stage

When the owners chose to work with Blue Grouse Wine Cellars, a careful assessment was made. This process is crucial because it helps the builder to determine the specific needs of the client, tailor the custom wine cellar according to their requirements, and prevent costly modifications later on.

With keen attention to detail, Blue Grouse Wine Cellars gathered all the necessary information necessary for designing the wine room. The room measures 9 feet high, 5 feet wide, and 8 feet high. They created 3-dimensional drawings to provide the owners with better visualization of the completed wine room. The CAD images consist of different elevation views, racking styles, dimensions, and bottle capacities.

The Blue Grouse team submitted their design proposal to the client. Once approved, they started the installation of the modern home wine cellar.

Installing Wine Room Insulation and Vapor Barrier

As experts in wine cellar construction, Custom Wine Cellars Vancouver and Blue Grouse Wine Cellars know the importance of installing the correct insulation. Insulating a wine room will prevent the cold air from escaping the wine cellar and the warm air from interfering with the cooling efficiency of the wine refrigeration system.

A lack of or poor insulation will result in wine storage problems, leading to wine spoilage, breakdown of the cooling unit, and higher energy bills. In this modern home wine cellar, Blue Grouse Wine Cellars had to install glass walls and windows. Therefore, a higher insulation value was required. They insulated the back and sidewalls with R-20 and the ceiling with R-30. They also added a vapor barrier on the warm side of the wine room to separate the warm environment from the cold environment.

Metal Custom Wine Racks and Wood Cabinetry

In this installation project, the owners wanted a minimalist design. To achieve this, Blue Grouse Wine Cellars installed metal wine racks from VintageView, one of the leading manufacturers of metal wine storage systems.

These wine racks are designed with a label-forward orientation. With the labels facing out, it would be easier to locate a specific type of wine. On the right wall, you will see single deep, wall-mounted wine racks placed next to each other. These wine racks are perfect for a small wine cellar like this because no floor space is used.

The back wall is the focal point of this modern home wine cellar. Blue Grouse Wine Cellars installed triple deep wine racks mounted on the top half of the wall, forming a rectangular arch. They added a stemware rack (also from VintageView) at the top section of the arch. It holds the wine glasses upside down.

They applied a Brushed Nickel finish to give the wine racks a lustrous appearance and blend well with the cabinetry. The cabinets consist of five sequoia-style doors that were constructed from Maple with a custom finish. The client’s wine cellar accessories and wood cases can be stored in these cabinets.

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.

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.

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.
