Climate Controlled Custom Residential Wine Room Yorba Linda, CA Project
The main objective of custom wine cellar design is to build the ideal wine enclave, to provide a climate controlled environment that is perfect for storing and aging wines. A wine storage space should both be functional and stylish, since it is designed to not only store wines under optimum conditions, but also to display them in a visually enticing manner.
Regardless of the size of a wine room, the right combination of wine cellar components (e.g. flooring, racking, etc.) will create an efficient and aesthetically pleasing wine storage space. This recently completed residential wine room Yorba Linda CA project from Coastal Custom Wine Cellars illustrates how even a tiny space can be converted into a climate controlled wine enclave.

Wine Racking Design for the Yorba Linda Residential Wine Room
The newly installed wine enclave used to be an arched space at the end of the hallway. The space measures 8’ (L) x 8’ (W), and has a depth of 30 inches. The Coastal team integrated individual bottle racking and bin components into the wine cellar design, to bring the total storage capacity of the area to 392 wine bottles. The wine racks were actually manufactured by Iron Wine Cellars.
The top half of the residential wine racks feature an arched tabletop, flanked by two-column single bottle wine racking, with a high reveal display row. With a niche size of 3 ¾” x 3 ¾,”, the individual bottle openings can accommodate most 750 ml wine bottles. The display row stores the bottles at an angle, which promotes easy perusal and identification of wine labels. Additionally, the angled position of the bottles allows the cork to maintain contact with the wine, thereby ensuring its sealing quality.
Double Deep Wine Racking
The bottom half of the racking includes diamond bin components, with a one column single bottle wine rack on both sides. Case bins at the far left and far right provide spaces for wood case storage. All of the racking components on the bottom part of the Yorba Linda residential wine racks come in double deep configurations, in order to increase total storage capacity of the enclave.
The double depth configuration created a more spacious tabletop area for serving and decanting wines. The Coastal team also added wine cabinets and drawers, for storing stemware glasses and other wine accoutrements, such as napkins, corkscrews, and decanters.
Glass Wine Cellar Door
The entryway to this residential wine room Yorba Linda CA is sealed with a seamless glass wine cellar door. Installing frameless glass doors adds to the aesthetic value of the wine enclave.
This type of wine cellar door offers a clear view of the different wine bottles that are on display, and a glimpse of the tasteful wine cellar design and elegant residential wine racks. Seamless glass doors are UV resistant, and provide better insulation.

Wine Cellar Cooling System Installation by Arctic Metalworks
The climate control system for the residential wine room Yorba Linda CA was supplied by Arctic Metalworks. A wine cellar cooling system is designed to help maintain a constant and stable wine storage temperature between 50°F and 55°F, with a relative humidity of about 60 percent.
Residential Wine Cellar Cooling Unit from Arctic
For this wine cellar project in Yorba Linda, California, Arctic Metalworks installed their smallest cooling unit, the Arctic 0025 split refrigeration system. In terms of operation and installation options, a split cooling system is the most efficient and flexible of all wine cellar refrigeration equipment. The split system separates the evaporator component from the condensing unit.
The evaporator unit of the wine cellar cooling system is mounted inside a custom designed grill box, located above the arched area of the wine racking system.
To hide the presence of any mechanical equipment in the wine enclave, the Coastal team covered it with an operable grill cover, constructed from the same material as the racking solutions, to provide a smooth and uniform appearance.
Installation of the Wine Cellar Cooling Unit
The condensing unit, which is the noisiest part of a wine cellar cooling system, is located outdoors. In order to connect both components together, the Arctic team ran a line set through the space between the first and second floor. They installed Wi-Fi enabled thermostats to allow the client to conveniently check climate conditions in his wine enclave on his iPhone.
Ongoing refrigeration system maintenance is provided, which includes checking pressures and testing pump down control, cleaning the condenser, and the checking of Freon charge.
