If you have access to the ground beneath your home, you're already well on your way to having the optimal conditions for a Spiral Cellar. It's the surrounding soil that helps ensure near-constant temperatures and humidity in a Spiral Cellar. In other words, if you don't already have a cellar , a Spiral Cellar is an ideal solution for you.

One Spiral Cellar can be installed in almost every room in the home. The hall, the office, the living room, the kitchen, the winter garden/orangery. The most important parameters for a well-functioning cellar is that there is a maximum of 4-5 meters to the nearest north, east or northeast facing wall. We run two ventilation pipes from cellar for the outer wall, which should ensure that we get fresh air into the cellar year-round. Ventilation takes place without the use of electricity and the distance (length of the pipes) is important for this passive ventilation to function optimally.
