Default Passively-cooled larder design

Does anyone have any tips on where I can look for details on how to go
about designing/specifying/building a passively-cooled larder for a
kitchen? We are having some structural work done, and being able to
incorporate something like this would be great.

I've done a little search, but not really come up with anywhere good to
start.

I'd love to do this too but it seems, after 43 years of thinking about it I
can only come up with: excavate a cellar.

Our pantry is a wallk in, I think that's the problem. Every time you open
the door the temperature rises, even with a ventilated opening to the
outside and being on a sheltered east side of the house.

The house we had before this was very small - one room on the ground floor,
one on the first floor, but it had a cellar, it was wonderful!
