As the heart of the home, the kitchen serves as both a practical, multi-functional space, and an architectural statement. Design Freedom lets you plan beyond the work triangle and customise a kitchen layout to exactly suit how your clients live.
Design Freedom is a result of Fisher & Paykel’s modular approach to product design, built on four concepts: Work Zones, Patterns of Use, Distributed Appliances and Design Details. Using modules you can design beyond the kitchen work triangle, distributing appliances to where they are most needed, most ergonomic and most useful. This is the idea of creating Work Zones that perfectly match your client’s Patterns of Use.
The DishDrawer™ Dishwasher illustrates this approach. Single-format DishDrawer™ Dishwashers distributed to either side of a sink create an ergonomic flow between user, product and storage. An additional cleaning zone in the scullery will aid regular entertaining. Zones can define wine collections, morning coffee areas, or suit the needs of bakers or other commonly undertaken kitchen activities.
For example, a pasta cook would enjoy a cooking zone consisting of full surface induction near a work surface and sink, with fresh pasta prepared and large pots of water filled near a powerful source of heat. Use a modular refrigeration combination to distribute appliances to where they are needed, at the scale and format best suited to architectural plan and user needs. Whichever format is specified, the refrigeration solution is flexible in function and precise in delivery of temperature and humidity.
While streamlined, functional and ergonomic kitchens free us up to socialise and engage with each other while we cook and clean, appliance integration and design detail options are another important aspect of Design Freedom.
Connected to living, dining and outdoor spaces, and with multiple domestic roles, the modern kitchen is the quintessential living space. Integration is the key to transform the reading of space from utility to architectural statement.
Design Freedom acknowledges that as well as choosing exactly where products are positioned in the kitchen, you should be able to define the way they are integrated. To enjoy appliances as furniture with panel-ready columns, DishDrawer™ Dishwashers that disappear into the kitchen’s materiality, Columns that match the cabinetry seamlessly for a wholly unified aesthetic. It is also the freedom to specify freestanding or built-in products – to visually anchor space with a Professional range, to create a heritage aesthetic, or evoke a casual and eclectic holiday home vibe.
