Features

The room

The cellar holds about 2,500 bottles and is made from Tasmanian oak. Featured columns hold single bottles, and diamond bins take the bulk of the storage, dozens of bottles at a time. The entry doors are solid oak. LED lighting is worked into the room.

The joinery and the doors were made and installed by the client’s own trades, from the design. Eamonn designed the cellar. He did not build, supply or install it, and he does not carry construction liability for the work.
