Cellar Design
While beautiful wine cellars make a statement, architects and designers often prioritize aesthetics over the critical elements of functionality and wine preservation. SOMLYAY bridges the gap by evaluating and advising on cellar designs to prevent common flaws that could compromise your collection. With experience reviewing hundreds of private and commercial cellars, we collaborate with clients and designers to create stunning spaces that safeguard your investment. Our expertise ensures functional, preservation-focused designs, avoiding costly redesigns or post-construction fixes.
