FOR A KITCHEN IN SAN FRANCISCO, T.W. RYAN ARCHITECTU­RE PAYS SUBTLE HOMAGE TO ALVAR AALTO

- WORDS _David Sokol PHOTOS _Mariko Reed

1 MASTERCOOL II

The second generation of the Mastercool series features a handle-free pushto-open door so the unit can sit flush with the wall, as well as an interior with heightadju­stable shelves and bins for flexible storage. Discreet but effective LED strips illuminate the contents and an integrated filter eliminates odours. miele.ca

2 COLUMN REFRIGERAT­ION

Offered in three widths, Jennair’s column refrigerat­ors have been updated with over 600 LEDS (to dramatical­ly highlight the obsidian interior) and the Trinity Cooling system (which allows for three customizab­le and distinct temperatur­e zones within). Solid glass and metal door bins are also new additions. jennair.com

3 400 SERIES

On the outside, the 400 Series of refrigerat­ors and freezers can be finished in a single sheet of stainless steel or adapted to match a kitchen’s millwork, while a programmab­le TFT touch display stores personal preference­s. Inside, the anthracite aluminum bins and clear glass shelving can be configured in endless ways on a nearly invisible rail system. gaggenau.com

4 INTEGRATED COLUMN REFRIGERAT­OR

These panel-ready or stainless-steel-fronted fridges are available in 61- and 76-centimetre widths, and can be matched with freezers (in three width options) and opaque glass-door wine coolers to create a seamless kitchen. An all-metal interior and linear compressio­n keep temperatur­es stable. signaturek­itchensuit­e.com
