Under the Staircase Wine Cabinet

Under Staircase custom wine cabinet

As we all know, NYC apartments have limited space to say the least! Our latest project involved a newly renovated home which was extremely confined, but the owner was adamant that a wine feature was essential ....and not just any wine fridge would do! The owner wanted a custom piece with sleek and sexy lines and led lighting. He joked that under the staircase ("which I am sure is impossible") is about the only unaccounted for area. Joe took that as a challenge and the engineering team at J&C went to work! I would like to say this

creation was a piece of cake...but it wasn't. We had to engineer temperature control heat loads (glass), exhaust, remove condensation, design the wine rack,  implement vapor barriers, and seal. The engineering itself was quite an accomplishment,  but then we had to build to fit on an elevator, and still look like a one-of-a-kind piece of art. Our custom wine cabinets are true "statement pieces" that any apartment or home would be proud to share...oh and by the way this particular cabinet can store over 300 bottles! Before we begin any project,  J&C will sit with the owner, designer, and architect to

understand exactly what they are trying to achieve (not just with the wine element but with the entire space), It is not about making a wine rack for a wall or choosing certain fixtures, but about understanding the real issue: the use of the space and the desired atmosphere.

Please give us a call to better understand how J&C can design, and help create knockout works of art, custom-made wine furniture.
