The Man Cave is the first of a number of small interventions into a delightful modernist home in Toorak, Melbourne, Australia.
Designed by Andrew Child Architecture, this intervention involved the conversion of a hidden basement service area into a space for wine storage, organisation, and display.
A suite of elegant timber joinery components were inserted into the utilitarian area to create a moody and intimate space with moments of extravagance.
