The room

The cellar holds about 1,500 bottles in solid South Western Jarrah. A library ladder runs with the racking. Diamond bins, a display niche and individual bottle storage fill the narrow room.

The joinery was 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.
