Integrated Appliances - The Evolution of Kitchen Design
Accepted by: AIA, ASID, IDC, IDCEC, IDS, IIDA, NKBA
As the role of the kitchen has evolved, so too has kitchen design. Over the course of the last century, the role of the kitchen has changed significantly – inherently designed for just one user to prepare meals, it has steadily metamorphosed into a social hub. Today, kitchens have become multipurpose rooms, accommodating a variety of tasks and functioning as the heart of the home. Given this movement of breaking down the literal barriers separating a kitchen from the rest of the home, architects and designers have been challenged to find new and thoughtful ways to seamlessly incorporate kitchens into the greater living space of homes. Integrated appliances have helped lead this design charge as a key kitchen component.
