The Secrets of This Modern Glass Wine Cellar in Orange County Revealed!


The use of glass in wine storage rooms holds a dual purpose – functionality and aesthetics. As a design piece, glass is a statement material that differentiates the modern wine cellar from the traditional one. As a functional piece, glass makes it convenient for owners to showcase their wine collection and harness safe levels of natural light to illuminate their wine cellar.


There’s value and potential in going for modern glass wine cellars. Orange County and Los Angeles residents, especially those living in Manhattan Beach, have had a long-standing appreciation for these kinds of wine rooms, and our team is here to provide all their wine storage needs, from conceptualization to construction, maintenance, and repair.  


One of our newest projects in Manhattan Beach was in this lovely contemporary home, where get-togethers and quality time with friends and family were highly regarded. Explore the difference wine cellars can make through this home’s newly built walk-in wine closet and capture unique and favorable design ideas for your home wine cellar! 


Planning This Wine Cellar in Relation to the Larger Space 


From the street just outside the house, it’s unmistakable that this home appreciates design and style. With a professionally landscaped front lawn, contemporary exterior windows, and minimalist off-white exterior cladding, it’s a clear-cut decision that the interiors will have to look as good! And that’s what we tried to achieve for this new wine cellar. 

Down the semi-open basement, you’ll find the family’s entertainment den, complete with a pool table, theatre area, bar section, and an enclosed gym. Our team had the privilege to work on the space from the ground up, so we were able to use the same glass enclosure design on both the gym area and the wine cellar.


At that time, the home was being rebuilt. We had the chance to reframe the walls, run the line sets, install the cooling unit and lights easily, and add insulation. The entire basement was quite spacious, and there was plenty of potential to curate the floor layout. 


As soon as you walk down the stairs, you’re immediately greeted by the wine cellar and gym on either side. This layout creates a custom hallway that leads to the main area where you can find the pool table, bar, theatre, and, of course, the entrances to both the wine cellar and home gym. 

The hallway alone looks aesthetic, with the framed glass enclosures on both sides.
