The story of a beautiful and different wine experience
In a villa neighborhood in Oslo, more specifically in Nordbjerg, you will find an impressive wine cellar designed to house the most delicious wines from Svein’s collection. At Svein, an enthusiastic wine lover, part of the basement was converted into a wine room in connection with an extensive renovation, and this is where the story of a beautiful and different wine experience with Caverack begins.
Underground location
During a major renovation of his home, Svein and his architect quickly agreed to use the house’s existing basement to create an ideal place for wine storage. But Svein wanted more than just a functional basement, he wanted a visually impressive space.
Together with the architect, they decided to create an inviting connection between the basement and the rest of the house. It turned into a wine cellar under the floor, which is why they decided to make a solid glass floor that offers a beautiful view down into the wine cellar from the library above.
You enter this wine-filled experience from the other end of the house, through a gym, past both the spa and sauna. From here you stand in the wine cellar, which is made of Caverack wine racks in beautiful oak.
What really catches the eye is the installation of a glass ceiling, which makes the whole glory airy, distinctive and beautiful. Although the basement is naturally cool due to its underground location, Svein keeps a close eye on the temperature and humidity to ensure the perfect conditions for his wine.
The installation of Caverack wine racks from floor to ceiling adds an elegant ambience to the glass ceiling. These carpenter-built wine racks were installed quickly and easily, which surprised even Svein.
“They were so quick to install the wine racks that I didn't believe it”
Svein
Wine racks with integrated LED light
To add an extra glow to the room, LED lights are integrated in the shelves, providing beautiful lighting for the bottles. Natural light also flows in from a window at the top of the wall, which not only enhances the atmosphere, but also adds an extra dimension to the room.
When Thomas, from Wineandbarrels, drew the first drawing for Svein, there was no need for glass in the floor above the wine cellar. But when this came up, Thomas transformed the design and added a real genius touch. He placed Caverack 'display shelves’ (Half Andino) at the top of the modules almost all the way around. This allows for a fantastic view of the bottles from the library on top, making the wine cellar a real visual focal point in the home.
The lower modules have been designed with pull-out shelves where entire wine boxes can be placed.
With space for around 500 bottles and several whole boxes, the wine cellar fulfills both the esthetic and practical purpose.
“Everyone who visits me just has to look down and think it looks so good”
Svein
A special feature
Svein expressed his satisfaction with the entire process, from drawings to the completion of the wine cellar, by saying, “Everything went smoothly and I’m really happy with the final result.”
The wine cellar is not only a storage room, it is also an esthetic masterpiece that adorns Svein’s home and takes the wine experience to new heights under the Norwegian mountains. With Caverack wine racks as the cornerstone, this is an example of how form and function can merge to create a true paradise for any wine lover.
