Ristorante C'Esco

AE Studio

La progettazione del ristornate C'Esco, situato nella splendida cornice di Piazza Zama nella zona di San Giovanni a Roma, nasce dall'esigenza del proprietario di realizzare un luogo che rimanesse impresso nella memoria dei visitatori esattamente come le prelibatezze che si possono gustare al suo interno. La prospettiva del locale si focalizza sulla grande cucina a vista separata dal resto della sala attraverso una vetrata in ferro. Sono molti gli elementi che concorrono ad aumentare la profondità dell'ambiente, dalla disposizione dei tavoli ai plenum dell'impianto canalizzato a soffitto fino alla parete laterale rivestita da un'allegra carta da parati rappresentante un trionfo di ortaggi stilizzati. Sono proprio i colori della wallpaper che guidano il circostante arredo, elegante e minimale ma allo stesso tempo gioioso. Il rigore delle linee che conducono l'occhio verso la cucina è interrotto dalla moltitudine di lampade a sospensione che articolano e movimentano lo spazio e creano una connessione tra il piano del soffitto e quello dei tavoli. La sala in cui sono disposti i tavoli è articolata in zone distinte separate da semplici separé realizzati su misura in ferro dalla stessa artigianalità che ha prodotto la retrostante vetrata; tale disposizione aumenta la percezione spaziale senza far perdere la sensazione di intimità indispensabile per aumentare il benessere dei commensali. Grande attenzione è stata prestata nei confronti dell' acustica, il controsoffitto nasconde al suo interno materiali fonoisolanti che assicurano il benessere durante la cena.

Wine Cellar: Mercer Island Residence

Architectural Plastics, Inc.

This under-stair wine cellar presented several design challenges. Chief amongst which: how to avoid making this cramped, dark space feel like an afterthought compared to the grandeur of the rest of the home. The design team at Architectural Plastics quickly came up with a solution. A series of stepped height, clear acrylic wine racks offered maximum storage for the multi-level ceiling. Light was then added by cladding the walls in floor-to-ceiling LED panels to make the space a focal point and conversation starter. Image copyright: Miranda Estes Photography

White Wine Cellar Design Ideas with Brown Floor

When you’re an avid wine collector, wine racks don’t always cut it. A wine cellar, on the other hand, can provide ample wine storage within a controlled temperature, and a place to entertain friends. Just add seating and a tasting area to take yours to the next level. You don’t need 500 bottles or more to reap the benefits of a wine cellar, either. A small wine cooler can keep 20-odd bottles chilled to perfection and can sit within your kitchen, whereas a freestanding all-glass wine cellar could act as a feature or functional room divider in your home. Short on space? Transform an entire wall into wine storage, and showcase your collection, too. Browse the photos on Houzz for an array or wine cellar designs, and strike up a conversation with the architect or wine cellar specialist of your favourite picks.

What should I include in my wine cellar?

This depends on the size of your collection – or how big you hope it becomes. If you enjoy quaffing, you may want to invest in a walk-in cooler with wall-mounted wine racks and several tall wine fridges, as well as a tasting area with bar stools. If you’re a beginner or have a small collection, a home bar with mini fridge and wine rack will suffice. Essential bar accessories include wine glasses, corkscrews, carafes and aerators.

How should I store my wine?

Temperature control is at the core of a functional wine cellar. Your bottles need to be kept out of direct sunlight, and away from the heat and steam of kitchen appliances. A room that is too warm will make your wine age faster, oxidise and lose its character and flavour. If bottles are corked, they also need to be laid down. Your architect or designer will be able to help you create the ideal conditions for your home collection.

Where should I position my wine cooler?

The most important thing to consider is ease of access, which is why kitchens are the most common place to position wine coolers. Should you have minimal floor space, a small one could even sit comfortably on your countertop. If quaffing requires an occasion or you frequently host dinner parties, consider your dining room, so you can top up people’s glasses without having to leave the room. You could also make your bar fridge or cooler a destination within your entertainment or games room. There’s no denying that Aussies love to entertain and enjoy a glass or two outdoors, so if you’re lucky enough to have a covered outdoor area, this could be just the place for a cooler, too. Just ensure it doesn’t experience any extreme weather or long periods of direct sunlight.
