Sauvie Island Custom Wine Cellar Garage Conversion

A ho-hum garage is transformed into a modern, rustic wine cellar.

Windowed French doors beckon you to enter this Sauvie Island custom wine cellar garage conversion. Industrial-style polished cement floors and simple lighting allow the wood elements of the room to take center stage, creating a distinct Pacific Northwest modern, rustic feel. Custom, hand-forged steel hardware contrasts with the aged patina of reclaimed lumber that frames the floor-to-ceiling shelving display. Your eyes are drawn to two high-reveal display rows before they wander up to the client’s coveted collection of Whiskeys, showcased between the wine racks. From the inviting entrance to the rustic, minimal interior, it’s hard to believe this custom wine cellar was once a garage.
