- Design
With almost thirty years of wine cellar design in its repertoire, and the power to create anything within the limits of imagination, the Design Loft at Genuwine Cellars is the only true wine-cellar-centric boutique design firm in the world.
Our design philosophy is collaborative in nature. We have extensive experience working at a distance with other design professionals from around the world, including New York, London and Beijing.
If you or your design team would prefer for us to take the lead role in the design of your wine cellar, we can of course accommodate that. However if you and/or your team have your own designs/ideas, we can take a supportive role and help you best translate your pre-existing vision into a properly constructed, functional wine cellar. You choose our level of involvement.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Every custom wine cellar designed by Genuwine Cellars is unique, guided and shaped by the client and their specific objectives.
The following are the most crucial aspects that we account for in every wine cellar we design:
1. Form
Aesthetically, the wine cellar must be strong and balanced and harmonious. We understand that the wine cellar is often designated as a showpiece for the home, and its fit and finish must be well-considered.
2. Investment Range
Ultimately, a wine cellar is a luxury product, which means there is virtually no limit with respect to potential costs associated with fit and finish, so choosing a range you are comfortable with is important.Leverage the creativity of our designers to ensure maximum value.Aligning a desirable design with an acceptable investment range is our priority.
3. Function
Creating sealed, climate-controlled environments to store and collect wine is what Genuwine Cellars has excelled at for twenty-five years.It is one thing to create an aesthetically pleasing space. It is another to create a functional enclosure that will store your wine at the proper temperature and humidity. This is where we consider cooling unit selection and placement, BTUH cooling load calculations, duct design, air flow patterns, room insulation and vapour barrier requirements. Ultimately, our design team shares the common goal of providing our clients with superior custom design and engineering to give you a wine cellar that is not only technologically sound, but also a work of art.
