After working on other areas in the house, Strawberry Hill took on this custom wine cellar. Due to the complexity of the radius unit, the cellar had to be designed in modular sections so it could be easily constructed and finished in small portions and assembled and delivered in manageable larger pieces for easy reassembly.

The company faced the challenge of correctly spacing vertical sections — and aligning 684 wedge-shaped bottle supports — kept parallel to hold the bottles while maintaining a specific radius throughout the unit.
