Building a stand alone cellar

Does anyone know where I can get design plans for making a stand alone wine cellar? I'm particularly interested in the type of insulation (thickness / type), door hardware, type of wood or frame, etc. to be used. I'm a cabinet maker and I can do the "cabinet" build, but the specifics to make it a "cellar", i'm still unsure.

My intentions is to build a 200 bottle cabinet/cellar cooled by a Breezeair WK1060, unless anyone else has other recommendations/suggestions.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

You'll find a great deal of the theory you need in the book:

"How and Why to Build a Wine Cellar" by R.M. Gould.

It isn't a specific plan per se, but with your background it is probably the info you need. Gould emphasizes a passively cooled cellar, but if you follow his advice your Breezeair unit may not need to run as often.

Good suggestion (though I think his name is Gold, not Gould). Dale
