Cook and Brew.

The developer who’ll be building our dream home has finally shown us the perspective of our “little mansion”. I say little because its size is really small and confined in about 60 square meters lot area. Nevertheless, as small as it will be, we’ll make it a “mansion” inside by designing and organizing well the interiors. For now, while we prepare for the processing of our Home Loans, I’m busying myself scouring the web for space saving yet ultra chic designs especially for the kitchen, dining and living rooms. And here’s what I bookmarked so far…the so-called Ritual Evolution for the kitchen.

Conceptualized by Dario Grasselli for Whirlpool, this all-in-one standing kitchen is designed to address the need for urban society’s self-sufficient and practical kitchen. This will definitely fit and suitable for a cramming living space without taking out out the luxurious kitchen element and feel.

The Ritual Evolution is comprised of a washing area on one corner, a cooking central zone in one part, and the preparation and serving area on the other corner. The appliances are all situated on one long side for an easy accessibility and a swift utilization. The shape is very well thought of and designed such so the cook can freely move around the kitchen zone with much ease.

The cooking central zone consists of the induction cooktop and a combi oven. There’s also a warming plate in the middle of the table. The washing area on one corner houses the dishwasher along side with fridge drawer. The preparing area, just near the round table, composes of a large chopping board which discreetly houses a scale. This also adapts a color sensor technology for the tap for it to indicate the water temperature. The counter top, by the way, is made of stainless steel. LED lights also adorn this kitchen stand for dark and night time usage.

I’m not a great cook, in fact, I consider myself a struggling one but I think this design will transform me. It’ll make me an instant kitchen person since I’d be confined most of the time in the kitchen and get me hooked into preparing foods and cooking.

This is brilliant, but I wonder how much will Whirpool be pricing this one.
