The rods
Long rows, neck to neck
Stainless rods run the width of each bay and the bottles lie two to a row, necks meeting in the middle. Each rod ends in a small escutcheon on the walnut, the kind of detail you notice only because nothing about it looks improvised.
The cradles
A row tilted forward
Partway down three of the bays, a row of stainless cradles leans the bottles back, cork-up and label-forward. It is the display row, and it breaks the horizontal lines just where your hand goes.
The stone
Lit from the edges
The stone is raw and cleft, and the light comes from its edges rather than its face, so every ridge throws a shadow. At night the wall reads as a landscape with wine laid across it.
The wall
Stone, wood, glass
Five walnut posts, four bays, one run of frameless glass with a door pair. A warm stone-and-wood palette for a dining room that wants a showpiece without giving a room over to it.
FINISH
The Strata
Four ways
Tap a finish to sweep it across the room. As shown is included; the alternates change the timber and metal and leave the design untouched. The edition is ten across every finish, so a finish no one else chooses can be yours alone.

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.
The Strata is shown at about 135 bottles. It is drawn to your room on commission rather than sold in sizes: the walnut posts, the rod rhythm and the display row hold their proportion, and capacity follows the room. Counts are confirmed at specification.
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 Strata is a concept from the Prestige studio: a step-in wine wall where the stone is the point. A raw cleft-stone back wall is lit from its edges so every ledge and fracture throws a shadow, and about 135 bottles lie across it neck to neck on long stainless rod rows between walnut posts, behind a frameless glass front.
It is drawn on commission, to your wall. Four bays as shown; the posts, the rod rhythm and the display row hold their proportion, and the stone is chosen with you.
4
Bays
Divided by five walnut posts, each one hiding the light that grazes the stone.
1
Raw stone wall
The only edition with natural cleft stone as the hero surface, lit for its texture.

Questions
Answered.
Who installs it?
Your own contractor. Every edition is engineered as a complete wine cellar 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 Strata is drawn to your verified opening rather than to a catalogue dimension.
It scales across Drawn to your wall · four bays, floor to ceiling, 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.
