This residential custom wine cellar project was constructed on the Newport Coast between Newport Beach and Laguna Beach, California.
This was a large and exceptional residential wine cellar project that included a lot of unusual features.
The library-style wine room, with dimensions of 13ft x 20ft and a 10ft high ceiling, is designed to accommodate over 4,000 wine bottles, and includes distinctive features such as two library-style rolling ladders and racks that extend to the ceiling.
The overall home construction process took three years from design to installation, with most components arriving fully assembled. The design also incorporated an earthquake tilt to prevent bottles from falling during seismic activity.
The racking was made from solid Malaysian Mahogany, with a non-aromatic rustic stain and clear lacquer top coat for a lustrous finish. The cellar is climate-controlled, with a ducted air-handling cooling system to maintain the right temperature and humidity levels.
Despite the large scope and complexity of the project, it was completed successfully, with the cellar providing a stunning aesthetic addition to an already exquisite guest and entertainment residence.
The team also shared the details of the project and its completion through a series of three videos.
Situated on the Newport Coast between Newport Beach and Laguna Beach California this Custom Wine Cellar certainly has Location
Built in a home with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean this library-style, custom wine room is much bigger than the average. With a 13ft by 20ft floor space area and a 10ft high ceiling, extra features were designed into this custom wine cellar. With the wine racking going all the way to the ceiling and a “wine display” style design, the total capacity of the finished wine cellar came out at 4,086 bottles.
The actual project was three years from design to installation and as of writing this, the home was still under construction.
As you will see from the drawings there is a lot of wood case and bulk storage as well as horizontal displays for very large 3-6 liter format bottles. Along with 15-degree display rows and specially designed niches for two library-style rolling ladders, this cellar has serious style. The rolling ladders were inherent to the custom wine cellar design as the racking extends all the way to the ten-foot-high ceiling.
All the racking was constructed in beautiful solid Malaysian Mahogany with a non-aromatic rustic stain. A clear lacquer top coat was applied to give it a superior lustrous finish. Learn more about Custom Wine Rack Wood Options.
In a series of three videos about this custom wine cellar design and build project we will show you the details of this design as well as what the completed job looks like.

This exquisite home is actually a Guest and Entertainment Residence constructed next door to the primary residence in Newport Coast, CA.
Panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean are dwarfed by the incredible features found in this home and custom wine cellar. In October of 2008, we submitted our preliminary design to our clients. After numerous design and change orders, the final design went into production in July 2011.
The installation actually took less than 1 week as many of the components arrived fully assembled from our factory.
Earthquake Tilt Designed Custom Wine Racks
As you are probably aware California has been known to experience the odd earthquake and indeed, if you have ever experienced one, you will understand the need for the next feature. All the racking was designed with a slight backward tilt in order to reduce the possibility of the bottles being shaken from the racking.
Library Style Custom Wine Cellar
The style of the wine cellar is such that as you enter the room you go through a series of arches to a lattice arch display, sink area, and wine-tasting table top. To get a good feel for this take a moment to watch our video tour of the project. We essentially created “aisles” for the wine storage areas just like a traditional bookcase library. Clearly built for the entertainer, this wine cellar has horizontal display storage that shows the full length of the bottles and includes 27 openings for 3-6 liter bottles and 391 horizontal displays for 750-1.5ml bottles. In addition, there are 45 wood case storage shelves for bulk storage.

In the images above you can see the rolling tracks and storage niches for the rolling ladders. If you look carefully you can also see the “Earth Quake Tilt” of the wine racks themselves. Also, note the beautiful tonal coloring of the finished mahogany used in the construction of this wine cellar.

Custom Wine Cellar Refrigeration Ducted Air Handler
As this is a climate-controlled basement Wine Cellar we sealed and insulated all the walls to ensure the cooling system ran efficiently and remained mold-free during its lifetime. Included in the design was a self-contained ducted air-handling Wine Cellar Cooling system which simply means that in the wine room itself, there are only hidden vent openings for the cold air supply and return. All the cool air is ducted to and from an adjacent area with the added benefit of reducing the ambient noise in the room. The wine cellar refrigeration unit, therefore, cools the cellar and manages the humidity without any equipment actually needing to be installed inside the cellar itself.

If you enjoyed looking through this project maybe you would like to see some others. We have many other completed wine cellars and are uploading them as quickly as we can. Many vary from this project in design, size, and scope. For example, take a look at this Custom Wine Cellars New York project on the opposite coast to California. This project was designed to carefully manage costs by making use of a mix of fully custom and semi-custom wine racks.
