If you are looking for smaller wine racks, please see the 'Wine Accessories Store' section of this website.Here are just a few examples of recent custom designed wine cellar projects in various states of Australia:
Wine Cellar at Home
Our brief with this cellar was to design and create a custom cellar in an apartment that reflected our client’s intimate understanding and appreciation of wood. Using solid Tasmanian Oak and high quality craftsmanship, the cellar had to be flexible and maximise the use of space whilst precisely catering to a range of bottle sizes and shapes. Where money is no object, MacPhee’s have the design capability, specialist knowledge and expert craftsmanship to create a completely unique cellar, custom designed to your needs.
Indicative price range: $40,000 plus
"Dear Craig and Scott I just wanted to let you know how happy we are with the new wine storage room in our apartment. The plan you devised provides optimal use of the small space, while at the same time being strikingly beautiful. And the quality of the workmanship is excellent. Everyone who has seen it is impressed. I also appreciate that you were doing the fitout in our absence, while other work was being done in the apartment. Despite this, it was delivered on time, as promised. And of course we continue to store some wine with you, and appreciate the friendly service provided by your warehouse staff. Thanks for a job well done! Paul Fowler"
Wine Cellar under the Stairs
MacPhee’s designed, built and installed this climate controlled solid timber wine cellar under an elaborate staircase in Sydney. Whilst the client was previously storing his wine by the case under this staircase, a number of cases had to be moved each time he needed to locate a particular bottle. MacPhee’s met the client’s request for access to as many individual bottles as possible whilst maximising the use of this unique space, using adjustable storage shelves for individual bottles, bins for multiple bottles and displays for special bottles. We added a small bench for opening and decanting wine as well as a large roll out shelf at floor level for bulk cases to make use of an awkward angle.
Client’s testimonial: ‘(We) are absolutely delighted with the end result!’
His wife’s testimonial: ‘Thanks again for everything – (he) was already in the cellar this morning filling it with wine.’
Indicative price: $30,000 plus
Room Conversion
This client came to MacPhee’s wanting to convert his store room into a climate controlled cellar. The brief was for a secure and functional space for wine storage for around 1500 bottles of wine.
The cellar featured climate control equipment, a low cost yet tasteful metal racking system that maximised the client’s wine storage capacity, and correct insulation and door to ensure conditions are maintained.
Indicative price range: $15,000 to $25,000
Above Ground Cellar
As part of a major renovation, MacPhee’s was referred in by the client’s architect/builder as specialist consultants for this custom cellar.
The brief was for a contemporary, state of the art custom designed cellar for a specific and relatively large above ground space. In addition to technical requirements, MacPhee’s provided project expertise, stylish racking and custom lighting to create a more tasteful cellar environment.
Indicative price range: $30,000 plus
Small Cellar in Garage
For this project, MacPhee’s built a cool room complete with climate control and racking in a vacant space in the client’s garage. A self contained cool room was built at the end of a 2 car garage (1 metre deep by 4 metres wide), providing a bulk storage area without too much concern for aesthetics. This type of project can be adapted to any space within a room or storage area.
Approximately $15,000
