Shirvington Cellar Door

LOCATION: McLaren Vale CLIENT: Shirvington Wines BUILDER: McPeake Builders INTERIOR DESIGNER: Studio S2 Architects COMPLETION: 2021 PROJECT OVERVIEW: What do you do when you have a green industrial shed with a winery inside, and you want to put your cellar door in? For this client, we suggested that it was a truly ‘you have to be in the know’ place, where the cellar door is hidden within, and to visit, you are truly entering the inner sanctum. A place where people are invited in, to understand not just the product, but the process and the people behind it. A special place where it is in very good taste to sit at our table and be introduced into the ‘bunch’. The design features: A timber lined lifting garage door, so you enter across a drawbridge. Shop front windows in the entrance porch. Grand doors. An internal space that raised, and looks over the winery and vineyard, but is enclosed and protected from the noise of the winery itself. Beautiful merchandising displays. Stools to match the colour of the logo. Back of house office and kitchenette. Photography: Studio S2 Architects
