The grid
Corks out, labels away
Most cellars are built to be read. This one is built to be used. The bottles sit end-on in a grid that runs the full height, and what you see is the repetition — a hundred and seventy-six identical circles, which turns out to be a more confident thing to look at than a hundred and seventy-six labels.
The display rows
Two rows, lit from behind
At eye level the grid breaks and two rows tilt forward, backlit, holding whatever is open or about to be. It is the only place in the piece a label shows, which is precisely why those bottles get chosen.
The base
Four lit bays, deliberately left open
Beneath the grid, four illuminated open bays run the width of the cabinet. They are not racked and not divided — they are simply lit space, for a case that has just arrived, a large format that fits nowhere else, or nothing at all. A cellar with no room to put something down is a cellar you stop using.
The doors
Steel, slim, and dead flat
Paired glass doors in steel frames, sightlines kept as narrow as the structure allows, hung so they close flush with the millwork rather than proud of it. Ten feet of door that does not sag is an engineering problem, not a joinery one.

Edition of Ten
Reserve your edition.
Three decisions: how deep it runs, which specification, and how you’d like it delivered. Cooling, structural load and engineering are ours — they’re never a question you have to answer.
A cork-forward grid shows far more millwork and far less metal than the display editions, so the colourway change is more visible here than anywhere else in the collection.
Included in price
Have this configuration sent to you
We'll email the specification exactly as you've built it. No obligation, no drawings released.
Pricing shown is indicative. Final price is confirmed after field verification of your opening.
What Design Plans includes
Full architectural drawings dimensioned to your verified opening — plan, elevations, sections and details — plus structural load calculations, a complete material schedule listing every component, finish and quantity, and the cooling specification sized for your configuration. A licensed set, not a sketch.
Materials are not supplied at this level. Our racking, glass and cooling partners sell through authorised dealers only, so if you’d like us to supply and crate the components, choose Design + Materials.
Credited if you upgrade. The full plans fee is credited toward Design + Materials or Design + Build if you move up within twelve months.
Licensed for one build at one address. Not transferable and not for resale.
Provenance
Drawn, then built.
The Cache began as shop drawing BWC, Revision 2 — 176 bottles, ten feet to the bulkhead, in under eighteen inches of depth. It is the one edition that does not try to show you anything. The bottles face cork-out in a dense grid, broken only by two lit display rows at eye level and four illuminated bays at the base. It reads as a cellar that is used rather than a case that is admired, which is the whole point. It was engineered before it was ever offered: the load of a full grid ten feet high is not a small number, and it was calculated.
10′
To the bulkhead
Ten feet of door that does not sag is an engineering problem, not a joinery one. It was calculated.
18"
Depth
Under eighteen inches of floor plan — shallower than most bookshelves, holding four times as much.
How It Works
Designed by us. Installed by yours.
Every edition ships as a complete, engineered kit — crated, numbered, and ready for your contractor.
01
Reserve your edition
Choose your size, specification and delivery. We assign your edition number and open the drawing, engineered to your verified opening.
02
Field verification
Your contractor mounts the channel first, then submits verified opening dimensions before any glass is cut.
03
Fabrication
Posts, racking, glass, lighting and hardware are fabricated to your verified measurements — in parallel, with the longest-lead component setting the schedule.
04
Crated delivery
Everything arrives palletized and labeled by install sequence, with a printed guide and video for each assembly.
05
Your contractor installs
Posts anchor floor to ceiling, the base sets like millwork, and the glass drops into the channel. We’re on call throughout.
Box & Papers
Owned by ten. Documented like it.
A fine watch is worth more with its box and papers. Your cellar arrives the same way.
The Ownership Card
Black anodised · No. 01 of 10
The ownership card.
Black anodized metal, laser-etched with the model, specification and edition number. It lives with the deed — not in a drawer.
The etched code opens your cellar’s private record: original drawings, material schedule, appraisal, and complete service history.

Questions
Answered.
Who installs it?
Your own contractor. Every edition is engineered as a kit — components arrive crated, numbered and drawn to your verified opening, with an installation set a competent carpenter can work from. No specialty glazier, no factory crew flown across the country. In Texas we install it ourselves if you’d rather.
Will it fit my space?
Almost certainly, and it won’t need to be a standard size.
The Cache is drawn to your verified opening rather than to a catalogue dimension.
It scales across Six to nine feet wide · ten feet tall, and the proportions hold at any size in that range.
What happens if a measurement is wrong?
The sequence is built to prevent it. The channel and framing ship first and are installed before anything is cut. Your contractor then returns signed, verified opening dimensions, and only then is the glass cut and the racking finalised. Nothing expensive is fabricated against a number nobody has checked.
What’s included, and what isn’t?
Included: the architectural drawing set, all racking and display components, glass, lighting, hardware, the cooling unit sized for your configuration, and crated delivery. Not included: the wall or enclosure itself, electrical supply, and finish work by others. The drawing set states exactly which trades you need and what each is responsible for.
How long does it take?
It varies with the design — components are fabricated in parallel, and the longest one sets the schedule. Millwork runs eight to twelve weeks; metalwork two to four; frameless glass and mirrors about two; the cooling unit about two. Insulated glass doors are the long lead at twelve to sixteen weeks. Your drawing set states the schedule for your exact configuration before anything is fabricated.
What happens if the cooling fails?
Cooling is the one part that fails invisibly — you don’t find out until the wine does. Every edition is sized and specified by us rather than chosen from a list, and Prestige Care covers it from there. If a unit needs a technician the $500 service call is credited toward a replacement.
Is it really only ten?
Yes. Ten of each design, each numbered and recorded in the registry, and then the edition closes for good. The drawings aren’t reissued and the design isn’t rerun under another name.
Can I change the materials?
Yes — that’s Custom, available on any edition. Species, stain, metal finish, glass and stone are chosen with us rather than from a list, and layout or proportions can change too. Still numbered, still part of the edition, and priced above the authored finishes.
