Overview of the Manhattan Beach Los Angeles Wine Cabinet Project

Coastal Custom Wine Cellars, one of the most trusted wine cellar builders in California, recently completed a custom wine cabinet for a client in Manhattan Beach Los Angeles. The wine cabinet is located at the house’s dining area.

Manhattan Beach Los Angeles Wine Cabinet Design

The wine cellar features elegant wine racking styles, glass wine cellar doors, and a wine cellar climate control system. The dimensions of this wine cabinet include a width of 15 feet and height of 9 feet. The total storage capacity is 840 wine bottles.

Width: 15’

Height: 9’

Bottle Capacity: 840 wine bottles

The challenge with this project was the limited space of the wine room, particularly its depth. This could have caused difficulty in accessing the wine bottles at the left and right sides of the cabinet.

Custom Wine Cabinet – Manhattan Project by Coastal

To address this problem, the Coastal team added a pair of Barolo glass wine cellar doors. The doors filled the whole length (128 inches) of the openings, which made bottle access on both sides easier.

This custom wine cabinet project is part of a large renovation that the owners were working on. The conversation and planning with Coastal started last July 2014, and construction began last October. They completed the construction one week before Christmas.

Merging Different Wine Racking Styles

The main feature of this custom wine cabinet display and storage facility is the wine racking style. Different types of wine racks were put together to create an efficient, elegant, and maximized wine storage space.

The wine racks are made of Premium Redwood, one of the most in demand wood species in the wine racking industry. They were finished with a Chestnut wood stain, which enhances the natural beauty of Premium Redwood and blends well with the fixture in the dining room.

Striking Custom Wine Racks

A remarkable combination of wine racking styles were used to maximize the storage space and create an elegant look for the wine cabinet display. The wine racks used are:

Single bottle storage cubicles
Diamond bins
Wood case bins
Label forward horizontal displays
A high reveal display row with LED lighting
A display cabinet for 3L bottles

The Barolo Style Glass Wine Cellar Doors

The Barolo style glass wine cellar door is a dual-pane glass wine cellar entryway with Q-Lon weather stripping and a concealed door bottom. With these features, the room is kept tightly sealed, cool air is prevented from escaping, and more energy is conserved.

Barolo Glass Wine Cellar Doors

The Barolo glass wine cellar doors were finished with a Chestnut wood stain, which enhances the color of the wood. In between the two glass wine cellar doors is a fixed window, where a label forward wine cabinet display is visible. This part of the wine cabinet is intended for storing 3-liter wine bottles.

The Wine Cellar Climate Control System

The Manhattan Beach Los Angeles wine cabinet includes a wine cellar climate control system. The Coastal team installed a ductless split wine cellar cooling unit from Arctic Metalworks, one of the best wine cellar cooling unit providers in California.

It is important for any wine storage facility to have a wine cellar climate control system installed. It provides and maintains the ideal temperature and humidity needed to promote the proper aging of wines.

Coastal recommended the ductless split wine cellar cooling unit because of its versatility and efficiency. With this type of cooling unit, the condenser, which is the noisiest part of the cooling system, is installed away from the wine room. How can this be an advantage?

Wine Cellar Climate Control System

Wine aging can be affected by vibration. It is best to keep wines away from possible sources of noise, movement and vibration, to allow for the natural aging process of wine.

For this wine cellar, the condenser was installed in the garage, while the evaporator was installed inside the wine cabinet. A custom designed louvered grill was used to cover the evaporator unit, and to keep any mechanical parts out of sight. A line set with copper tubing and electrical wiring was used to connect the condenser and the evaporator.

If the condenser is installed outdoors, it is always recommended to cover it with exterior housing, to prevent damage by harmful environmental elements.

Hi and thank you for visiting Coastal Custom Wine Cellars. I’m going to share a project with you today that we recently completed in Orange County, California.

In November 2013, I was contacted by an architectural firm in San Diego and they sent me this beautiful color rendering of the proposed remodel to the dining room area of the Coto de Caza Golf and Racquet Club.

Coto de Caza Golf and Racquet Club

The focus of our work was to be the enclosure here. This is approximately 11′ wide, 2′ deep and about 9′ tall. It was an area that the club members would have the opportunity to store and display some of their private collections. So after a number of consultations and a couple of site visits, we created some design work for them.

The wine racks were provided by Vintage View out of Denver, Colorado, and the wine cellar cooling unit was provided by Wine Guardian out of New York.

Let’s take a look at how we came about designing this and we are going to show you some photographs as well. What we are looking at here is the wine rack design. This is an overhead view of the area. It is a foot print, if you will, bird’s eye view. And as you can see the dimensions are posted, this is approximately 11′ wide, 2′ deep.

Vintage View Plan View – Coastal Custom Wine Cellars

This is the back side or fixed glass panels, so that all the club members on this side of the enclosure have a view of the wine cellar. This is the front side where there is a series of doors, three pairs to be exact.

The capacity of this particular wine enclosure is 1, 380 bottles. This is a front elevation. It is mostly label forward horizontal displays in a three deep configuration. In other words, behind the visible bottle, there are two more bottles stored to increase the capacity.

We also have a presentation row running the width of that. The back side is the fixed glass panel view and this is a side view illustration as well.

This single deep storage on the side of the vertical frame is for the rear or fixed panel, and on the front side we have a three deep configuration. This is where the series of doors are located.

Let’s take a look at how the cooling unit came to be. This is the rough frame construction of the wine enclosure. This is the cold air supply, and the cold air return.

The beautiful thing about the Wine Guardian ducted air handler systems is there’s no visible equipment in the wine room, and in this case that’s ideal because it’s all glass. Also, there’s no evaporator mounted on the wall occupying valuable wall space when in deep capacity could certainly be an issue.

Typically, these things are installed about 25 feet away from the enclosure. As you can see, just on the other side of the enclosure is the cold air supply that I mentioned.

Here is where the wine cellar cooling unit is actually placed in the ceiling and the cold air is supplied to and from the enclosure, and the hot air and the drain line heads out this way to the outdoors. It’s mounted in the ceiling as you can see.

Wine Guardian D088 Wine Cellar Cooling Unit

This is one of their larger units. Their model DO88 is placed in the ceiling. It requires a little bit of clearance around it, so that the ducting can be mounted into the various panels available.

Now let’s take a look at some of the wine racks. The finish on the wine racks is a platinum finish, brush nickel or kind of a stainless steel effect. As you can see, here is the cold air supply that we’ve been talking about.

Here’s the presentation row that was included on the wine racks. This is the back side or the rear fixed panel of the enclosure which will go along here.

Now we’ve installed the glass, it’s a 1/2″ tempered glass. The doors are quite tall and quite heavy, so we used commercial duty pivot hinges that are self-closing.

Stunning Commercial Wine Racks

We certainly didn’t want the wine cellar door to swing in being so heavy and causing damage to some of the wines. Also, there are lots of these at the bottom for security reasons. The enclosure now has some bottles stored inside.

These last few pictures will give you some different angles or the many different views that are available to the customers. It’s almost as if they’re floating inside the enclosure. It’s amazing. All in all, a fun project to work with, and we’d certainly like to help you design with your project if you have one.
