The founders of two architecture-inspired businesses, Natasha Case of ice cream brand Coolhaus and Alyson Beaton of DIY-doll house maker Lille Huset, will join us onstage. Plus, a Coolhaus truck will be parked on the show floor to dole out ice cream sandwiches—including the exclusive Dwell on De-Vine flavor, a collaboration between Dwell and Coolhaus that features a Lambrusco reduction ice cream with cinnamon and black pepper sandwiched between two chocolate cookies.

The Best Ice Cream Scoop Ice-cream industry insiders unanimously raved about the Zeroll after testing it in three popular San Francisco ice cream shops (The Sweethome editors generously tested the scoop at home too).

We debuted this story on Coolhaus, [note the pun] an LA based company founded by two architects that makes high concept ice cream sandwiches named after modern design icons, back in April of 2009 and apparently it was hot hot hot then too. I'll bet we beat the record this year.

15% COLLECTION ALUMINUM ICE CREAM SPOON “I scream, you scream, we all scream” when ice cream is too hard to eat. The 15% line from Lemnos is made with high-grade aluminum—a metal with high thermal conductivity—that conducts the hand’s temperature when in use. This makes the ice cream softer, so it is easier to spoon and eat. Each ice cream spoon is hand-polished by a Japanese metal craftsman, ensuring that the quality utensil has a brilliant shine. Designed by Japanese designer Nakoi Terada, the all aluminum body features smooth curves and is crafted to fit into the whole palm when it is held.

The Coolhaus Shop in Culver City is not far from all of the action at Dwell on Design, happening June 20-22 in Los Angeles.

Creator Michael Chou took the ergonomically flawed design of the typical ice cream scoop, and angled it and added a grip so that it takes less effort to use. Chou, a 35-year-old father and aerospace engineer from Michigan, went through 38 iterations over two years of development before settling on the design.

Coolhaus ice cream flavors range from Cuban Cigar to Fried Chicken & Waffles to Gin & Tonic, with cookies such as Maple Flapjack and Peanut Butter Captain Crunch. A variety of Coolhaus offerings will be available to sample on the show floor at Dwell on Design. Coolhaus Chocolate Bourbon ice cream sandwich. Photo courtesy of Coolhaus

Natasha Case had always been fascinated by what she calls Farchitecture: the marriage of food and architecture. After finishing architecture school, she and her business partner Freya Estreller headed out to the Coachella music festival in an old postal van filled with ice cream sandwiches named after architectural legends, and Coolhaus was born.

The home’s kitchen features dual Miele ovens, Thermador refrigerator and freezer, and Thermador induction cooktop. A feature wall clad in natural Carrara marble sits behind sliding cabinet uppers. Paola Lenti Heron counter stools in ‘verde scuro,’ coordinate with custom cabinet fronts, accented with Spinneybeck leather pulls.

The interior is BPA-free, so hot liquid won’t release any toxic chemicals. It’s not dishwasher safe, so it requires hand-washing. It comes with an acrylic straw to mimic the feeling of a store-bought cold-brew.

COOLHAUS was in the house, serving up scrumptious vegan architectural ice cream sandwiches.

Mary and Scott Hager love their ice machine and consider it a necessity in their home. When the two have something to celebrate, the Scotsman ice machine has just what they need for the perfect drink, says Scott. “With the Sonic-style crushed ice, it’s gotta be a margarita.”

Honed Carrara marble lines the kitchen countertops as well as the backsplash.

Pre-chill the mug by leaving it in the freezer until you need to use it. Pour in a hot fresh-brewed pot, and the lining outside the stainless steel interior efficiently transfers the cold it stored up in the freezer to the hot beverage. If you’ve ever poured hot coffee over ice to try and achieve a similar effect, you can understand the value of avoiding dilution in the process.

Stand Mixer by Smeg, $450 Known for retro refrigerators, Smeg has branched out into small appliances. The stand mixer features an aluminum body, stainless-steel bowl, and ten speeds.

The custom refrigerator, dishwasher, and range hood panels make the kitchen feel more polished.

The kitchen overlooks stunning views and features a Solna faucet by Brizo, Urbanedge sinks by Julien, a Lumen dishwasher by Miele, a Gaggenau cooktop, honed Balsatina countertops, and custom mixed-grain teak cabinetry.

Zoku claims its insulation can cool the liquid down to iced temperature in less than five minutes. Compared to cold-brewing your own batch, or just waiting for a hot mug to cool down, the convenience provided by a purpose-engineered liner is worth the $30 price.

An all-white kitchen works well with the concrete to give the space a cool, minimalist look.
