Soft lighting brightens the wooden ceiling, presenting an underground wine cellar with a British charm. The corridor, flanked by sizeable collections of classic or rare fine wines, straightly extends along the light. It is a tunnel of time rendering historical experiences with long-lasting glamour.



The two generations of business owners’ respective ideas innovated the business space into a beauty of captivating classic and modernity. The O-shaped moving flow contributes to a smooth visiting experience. Non-formaldehyde wall paint and wallpapers maintain fresh air in the confined thermostatic space. In addition to hexagonal tiles and stone wall panels, the interior is exquisite and pleasing.



This project, presenting a mix-and-match classic British charm, eventually collaborated with both generations of business owners’ tastes and requirements and achieved a remarkable luxury wine display. An exquisite staircase leads visitors to a secret tunnel, entering a striking space as an underground wine cellar. A mild-touched vaulted wood ceiling matches European moldings and elegant light fixtures featuring a vintage style and modernity. The composition brings the most appealing image of the brand.



A central bar counter forms an O-shaped moving flow, allowing the staff to show customers around individually. The space has three entrances: one is accessed with a patterned glass door to another liquor display area by a staircase between different floors. The glass door design features a blurred, transparent effect, delivering a mysterious feel. Another one is a flushed door secretly accessed to the V.I.P. room. Besides, the code lock covered by a painting reveals an interest in privacy inspired by medieval castle defense. Next to the street, the main entrance is usually kept closed, and its transparent glass door appeals to the passer-by with a British-styled interior, such as a showcase corresponding to the outside brick walls.
