SIMPLE & EFFECTIVE: TRANSFORM YOUR KITCHEN INTO AN ENERGY-EFFICIENT SPACE!

 If there are 24 hours in a day, we spend most of our waking hours here. From grabbing a quick snack, preparing a day’s meal, washing and tidying up, organising the pantry, using cooking gadgets to make masalas and pastes for future use…the kitchen sees some high-octave action through the day. We start things off with air purification! Be it a chimney, exhaust fan, or investing in a smart stove top that knows when to reduce the heat…clean, breathable air is so important here. Then comes the essentials, stove tops, faucets, ovens, the works! Keep an eye out for energy-ratings when planning your energy-efficient kitchen. Companies must adhere to strict regulations to get those stars on their products, so that’s one way to ensure you get what is advertised. Next, don’t indulge-shop! If your family doesn’t drink juices daily, don’t invest in one of those multi-functional designs. Stick to what is needed, to ensure the best use of energy and resources.

Truly, life as we knew it has changed and changed for the better…we hope! It’s time to make smart choices that help us live a more resourceful lifestyle. We’ve all noticed and admired how smart gadgets make daily living an effortless model, but some super-efficient ones are more than just that. They help us drastically reduce consumption of electricity, minimise our need for water and optimise the way we keep up with our hygiene needs.

In this exclusive, we tour two projects that showcase how smart planning can go on to make a big difference. We start with a peak into the 6,000sqft Mumbai-based project by Shilpa Jain Balvally and Sameer Balvally, Founder, Studio Osmosis. “The kitchen has become more than just a place to cook. It has become an integral part of our living space and modern life. One should therefore feel comfortable in it and also take into account the architecture of one's own lifestyle as well as personal habits. Not only do our modular kitchens designers in gurgaon nowadays need to look good, but they need to have the best of functionality and design because with creativity and ideas, rooms can be planned that captivate in an elegant and practical way.

The impressive, smart kitchen designed and perfected by Studio Osmosis.

The planning of the 6,000sqft house is based on the lifestyle of the family and their requirement to be able to have a cohesive design that despite offering ample privacy to each member brings them together as a family and maintains the bond that exists. Keeping that in mind, a large kitchen is planned in the centre connecting the living and dining area for easy access. The kitchen is completely custom designed along with Alno Kitchens according to the requirements of the client and the finishing is stunning. The look is Scandinavian with sleek, grey back-painted glass shutters, a quartz countertop and a massive, mood-lit island that is used for breakfast by the family. Handmade Spanish tiles in a soothing blue-green colour made from Turquoise stone are laid out like a piece of art to add a touch of glam.

The Alno modular kitchen designers in gurgaon  that we used had features like sleek pioneering modular kitchens architecture, floating base units and metallic-effect doors giving it strength, glamour as well as clean minimalistic handle less, push technology design. Wherever possible we use wood and wood-based materials are procured from sustainable forest management with the required certificates.

Whereas smaller items can be accommodated in corner carousel units, the versatile LeMans corner units make the storage of heavy cookware simple and straightforward. Alongside the generous storage space in the door shelves, highlights include the intelligent pull-out technology whereby the rear shelves automatically come towards the user. Therefore, all supplies are stowed away in an impressively well-organised fashion, making them quick and easy to retrieve.

This self-sufficient design is everything a smart kitchen should be, and then some more!
