Wine as Time, Space as Memory
Wine doesn’t just age. It remembers. In every vintage, a year is captured — its rains, its sunlight, its hands. A true wine room in Menlo Park is not a storage — it’s a vessel for memory.
Portraits of Silence

A silent wall of glass in an Atherton modernist home — 200 bottles, one perfect line of sight.

Below a Menlo Park library, a hidden vault whispers a family's private vintages into the quiet.

In a hillside garden, a glass room reflects only trees and sky — never itself.
The Three Pillars of Invisible Craft
Quietness
Every system engineered for absolute silence — so that only the sound of a cork matters.
Materials
Stone, glass, wood — carefully chosen not to dominate, but to disappear into the story of the home.
Precision
Climate control measured in whispers, vibrations dampened to zero — because wine listens.
Signature Project: The Menlo Sanctuary

For a residence nested among oaks, we crafted a wine sanctuary of stone and silence. Hidden behind pivoting oak panels, the room reveals itself not through grand gestures — but through temperature, aroma, and light. A place not announced — but discovered.
The Philosophy of Invisible Luxury
True luxury doesn’t shout. It waits, quietly, to be understood. At 55 Degrees, we believe the finest wine rooms are those you almost don't notice — until they touch you with their light, their calm, their patience.
Where Memory Breathes
In Menlo Park — among scholars, inventors, and dreamers — we build rooms that breathe with memory. A space not to rush, not to display, but simply to exist — timeless, waiting, alive.
