Turnkey design, fabrication and installation of climate-controlled wine cellars, built-in cabinets and professional humidors for residences, restaurants and hotels in Madrid. +35 years of craft · +2,500 cellars delivered across Spain.
Madrid is one of the most demanding destinations in the Iberian Peninsula for a climate-controlled cellar. Annual thermal swings exceed 40 °C between the dry winter and the harsh summer, average ambient humidity drops to 35-40 % during hot months, and incident solar radiation on south-facing surfaces exceeds 700 W/m² at midday in summer. A standard commercial cellar simply cannot handle that load: the compressor runs at 95 % for five months straight and the cork dries out every summer. What we design for Madrid responds to those three variables at once: PIR insulation 50-80 mm with full thermal break perimeter, active humidification with ultrasonic nozzles and, on any south-facing glazing, double-laminated glass with argon cavity and Low-E coating as standard.
In Madrid we work with private collectors in Salamanca, Chamberí, Aravaca, La Moraleja and Pozuelo, with multi-unit hospitality groups across the Community and with five-star hotels needing dedicated wine rooms or cigar lounges. Fabrication is done at our Barcelona workshop and installation is coordinated through a previous technical visit with your architect or interior designer, with no middlemen.
From 80 to 600 bottles. Dual or triple zone. Continuous façade matched to existing joinery.
From 400 to 5,000 bottles. Sculptural centrepiece in corten steel or walnut.
From 1,000 to 8,000 bottles. Soil thermal inertia + integrated tasting room.
AISI 304 steel, Josper, integrated cold and hot lines.
Cedrela odorata cedar, 70 % RH. From tobacconist to walk-in for clubs and hotels.
We work closely with Madrid architecture and interior design studios from concept stage. We coordinate photorealistic 3D rendering, technical memoranda and structural calculations before fabrication. One technical contact for the entire project.
Yes. Salamanca, Chamberí, Aravaca, La Moraleja, Pozuelo, Chamartín, Las Rozas, Majadahonda and the rest of the Sierra. Technical visits coordinated with architects and interior designers.
Between 6 and 14 weeks from sign-off. 300-bottle cabinet: 6-8 weeks. 1,500-bottle glass wine room: 9-11 weeks. Full underground cellar: 12-14 weeks.
Annual swings from -3°C to +40°C, ambient humidity at 35–50 % RH. Requires PIR insulation at 50–80 mm with full thermal break, active ultrasonic humidification and Low-E glass on south-facing glazing as standard.
If excavation works are involved: building permit and architect-signed project. We coordinate with your architect and provide complete technical memoranda.
PIR insulation at 50–80 mm on all faces with a complete perimeter thermal break. South-facing glass uses argon-filled double-glazing with Low-E coating. Active ultrasonic humidification compensates for ambient humidity dropping to 30–40 % RH in summer.
Target: 12–14°C with ±0.5°C stability. In Madrid, the compressor operates at up to 95 % capacity for five consecutive summer months. Compressors are sized accordingly and dual redundancy is specified for high-value collections.
Glass wine rooms (400–2,000 bottles) in apartments and penthouses in Salamanca and Chamberí. Underground cellars (1,500–6,000 bottles) with tasting areas in detached houses in La Moraleja, Pozuelo and Las Rozas.
Yes. Coordination from concept stage: 3D renders, technical memoranda, DWG and BIM plans. One technical point of contact from first meeting to turnkey delivery, with direct liaison for MEP and structural calculations.
Key criteria: verifiable hospitality references, in-house fabrication, specific expertise for continental climate and direct architect coordination. L'Humidor fulfils all four, with references including Hotel Arts Barcelona and Hesperia Tower and over 30 years of experience.
Full integration with KNX, Loxone, Crestron and Control4. Temperature and humidity exposed as data points. Thermal deviation alerts sent to mobile app. Lighting scenes programmable: tasting, ambient, nocturnal absence.
Joan Serrate responds within 48 hours. A joint technical visit in Madrid at no cost is arranged within one to two weeks. A fixed quote with photorealistic 3D render follows within 7–15 days of the site visit.
Every cellar, cabinet or humidor is designed from scratch around your space. Write or call and we'll arrange a technical visit to study your case. No middlemen. No commitment.
