Sometimes it is a single alcove that changes everything. In this private residence, that very moment came to pass alongside the passageway leading to the open-plan kitchen – a space that does not look like a cellar, yet functions as one. Xi Wine Systems created a bespoke ‘The Wine Square by Xi’ here: a fully climate-controlled wine room that blends seamlessly into the existing architecture, as if this alcove had always been intended for this purpose.

What makes this solution special is its technical consistency: the cooling unit has been installed outside the living area – in the garage. It supplies chilled water via hoses to the CubeLT, which distributes the cool air evenly throughout the climate-controlled room. No compressor in the living area, no operating noise, no heat generation. The air-conditioning system operates invisibly and silently – exactly as a private wine cellar in a residential setting requires.

In this project, The Wine Square by Xi combines three qualities in a single solution: the precise climate control of a professional wine cellar, the design appeal of a piece of furniture, and the spatial intelligence of a bespoke solution that makes the most of every available centimetre. Perfection, design and functionality – all in one niche.
