Concealed Appliances: Three Approaches for the Kitchen

A modern minimalist kitchen with fully integrated appliances. The refrigerator and oven are built into tall cabinets and covered with the same door panels as the cabinetry, creating a continuous facade when closed; small appliances are placed in a recessed countertop area that can be hidden by a sliding door, completely out of sight when not in use; the range hood is either a hidden type integrated into the cabinetry or a linear type within a dropped ceiling. As a result, only a cutting board and a kettle are on the countertop. There are no hanging rods or wall cabinets on the wall. Avoid: exposing the refrigerator and oven with their original metal exteriors, arranging small appliances on the countertop, using large external range hoods, or installing hanging rods and shelves on the wall.

一間家電完全整合的現代簡約廚房。冰箱與烤箱嵌入高櫃並貼上與櫃體相同的門板,關起來時整面立面是連續的;小家電放在一段可以拉門收起的檯面凹槽裡,不用時完全看不到;抽油煙機是嵌入櫃體的隱藏式或降板內的線性型。檯面上因此只有一塊砧板與一個水壺。牆面沒有掛桿與吊櫃。避免:讓冰箱與烤箱以原本的金屬外觀外露、把小家電排在檯面上、使用外掛式的大型抽油煙機、在牆面加裝掛桿與置物架。
