Kitty Lee Architecture has designed the remodel of a 1960’s red brick house in Australia, and included in the updated interior is a dining room with a custom wine storage wall.

To showcase the home owner’s extensive wine collection, the dining room was relocated from the front entry area to the rear of the house with new bi-fold doors opening onto a new deck for entertaining.
