d81 KITCHENS


The SieMatic 29 Anniversary Edition blurs the boundary between kitchen and furniture. Cabinets are available in various widths, with closed doors or open shelves, and can conceal ovens, dishwashers or refrigerators


“In some ways, and for different reasons, we are already incorporating more modular and compact options in the kitchens of today and this trend is certainly set to continue. I often design kitchens for clients that have oil-fired ranges already installed or that want a range styled cooker that will also heat the home, and that has to be incorporated in the scheme. This is all well and good until the summer months when they need to be switched off due to excessive heat in the room.


“Gone are the days when you had to specify an additional single oven and 60cm electric hob with hidden canopy extractor above and have them all on show, taking up valuable storage space and disrupting any clean lines. This is thanks to some very savvy appliance brands that have developed advanced dual-purpose compact


ovens, which enable designers to hide them within cabinetry when not in use.


A number of premium brands make 45cm compact combination microwave ovens and/or with steam functions in the same appliance. This is a boon, because the product is ostensibly a fan oven with grill options, and unless you want to roast a 36lb turkey, it performs most of the functions of a single sized version just with extra useful features. Many brands offer fantastic modular induction hobs, some with zoneless cooking, so even if the hob is slimline, you can still place a larger pan on it.


“While ingredient boxes tend to have recipes developed for surface cooking, I can’t see the day when an oven of some sort will not be a standard requirement in any kitchen, large or small,” adds Taylor. “However, I can


see a future where it will no longer be seen within the layout. Already, the fashion in European design is to create a kitchen that conceals many functional aspects behind pocket doors, so that the room itself can be truly multifunctional and will hardly look like a kitchen at all until it is being used.” d
