Facing the inevitable downturn to the financial industry in 2008, forward thinking investment banker, Jake Duquette, made a bold move. He decided to leave his career in the high finance world and enter the construction industry, of all places, at a time when the industry was in shambles after the housing bubble burst.
Why would Duquette make such a crazy move? He had seen many spectacular residential luxury wine cellars in the homes of his high net worth clients. It was clear that this was an industry that was not diminishing, even during a down market, and he sensed it would potentially weather the inevitable recession far better than other industries.
Duquette knew that more and more people are falling in love with wine collecting. Because of that trend, wine lovers recognize that storing wine long-term requires that their wine investment be kept in more than a refrigerator, a box, or a cupboard.
And so Duquette made the big move, opening Wine Cellar International in the Miami/Fort Lauderdale, Florida area, in one of the nation’s best markets for luxury homes and commercial properties. His decisive vision has paid out, with a company that has grown at a staggering pace over the last few years.
Wine Cellar International’s designs have recently been recognized on Houzz, the popular website that construction, architecture, and design lovers go to for inspiration when they’re looking to upgrade their home. Duquette’s company has been awarded with Best of Houzz 2015 for Design.
This award was given based on the popularity of the images on Wine Cellar International’s profile. It’s a reflection of the aesthetic quality that Duquette and his team aspire to provide for all of their fashion-forward clients.
Wine Cellar International’s designers are capable of providing a wine room or display that fits any kind of visual quality for any type of home or commercial space, whether traditional or contemporary. But their specialty is creating sleek, modern designed wine cellars because of the popularity of this type of aesthetic in the Florida area.
It’s because of the high number of really spectacular contemporary designed metal and glass wine rooms and closets that they’ve featured on their Houzz profile that they’ve been recognized with this great award.
Many users have loved their designs and contacted them through this site. The modern design style doesn’t seem to be lessening in popularity, and Wine Cellar International is only increasing their portfolio of lavish and contemporary wine tasting spaces in the Miami area.
Because the cities in Florida are popular hubs for many International residents with multiple homes, Jake’s design and construction team has had the opportunity to build wine cellars for clients all over the world, particularly in the Caribbean.
They’re set up to meet the needs of their clients, whether that homeowner or business needs a turnkey solution or a builder that can coordinate with a General Contractor. Wine Cellar International can build anywhere in the world at your convenience, making them a very convenient choice.
