Modern Kitchen Hoods
Want to know how to ruin a dinner party really quickly? Fill the house with smoke. A functioning ventilation system in the kitchen is without a doubt a cooking essential and yet is an oft-overlooked design opportunity. Here, we take a look at seven kitchens featured in Dwell that sport modern, chic, and high-performance kitchen hoods.
In the kitchen, teak-and- thermofoil cabinets and Caesarstone countertops mix with Miele appliances—wall ovens, induction cooktop, hood, and microwave—and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. The kitchen sink and faucet are by Blanco. The owners, who split their time between Fishers Island and Great Britain, found the vintage pendant lamps at Lassco architectural salvage.
When architect Nick Martin was hired to rework an art curator’s Hamptons property into a Zen-like getaway from the big city, he took an appropriately holistic view. It’s the beach house that’s got it all: green technology; passive solar design; rich materials; an expansive feeling, despite a petite half-acre corner lot; and a design concept that references its humble beginnings as an off-the-rack kit house.
