Food crushers, support bowls and touch faucets are some of the features that help transform any kitchen
The kitchen is an environment that must be above all functional, after all, this is where the food is prepared. Today, the many accessories and technological possibilities allow even a small kitchen to be super practical and to satisfy any need of the resident.
According to the architect Christian Schiavoni, manager of the studio that bears his name, the market has offered many solutions that make the architectural project of the venue even more successful. “These are items that allow us to make activities even more organized, leaving the bench free, regardless of size, and with that feeling of peace,” he points out.
However, to enjoy these benefits, it is important study the project and the chances of being included during the works. “It’s not about additional accessories placed after everything is ready, but rather part of the structure conceived with specific motifs,” she points out.
Among the devices to be installed in the kitchen sink are the wet trougha type of built-in drying rack to receive cutlery, glasses and plates, internal dispenser for detergent, large tub (two is even better!) accompanied by a support bucket; food mashing machine; table, drying rack and baskets for kitchen sink; gourmet taptap and recycle the trash, among others.
Find out how these accessories work:
wet gutter
“Goodbye dish drainer!”, this was the architect’s declaration when asked about the location of the accessory so commonly used in most Brazilian homes. Through the resource of wet troughinstalled near the pediment of the washbasin or to the side, the resident has at his disposal a base which organizes the washed dishes and which, at the same time, prevents the accumulation of excess water at the base depending on the drained water.
In addition to the purpose of organizing the space and promoting a cleaner look, the stainless steel piece has a flow system that carries water directly to the siphon or sewer system. “That’s why its inclusion can’t be left to the end. In addition to sizing the ideal model, we have an infrastructure to work with,” he explains.
Chopper and support bucket
Next to the tub, a cuvette acts as a support when peeling and housing the food, as well as including the nozzle for the food mashing machineequipment installed inside the cabinet for the purpose of dispose of organic waste in a super hygienic way. When grinding leftovers from fruits, vegetables, greens and convenience foods, the remains can go into the sewage system.
“It is worth remembering that fibrous and rigid materials, such as bones, are not recommended, as they interfere with useful life. And, contrary to what many think, it is completely safe for the daily life of the family,” Cristiane guides. With the equipment, practicality and hygiene are constant companions. “Because they don’t accumulate in garbage cans, we don’t have the nuisance of bad smell, the contamination of those little mosquitoes that roam the environment,” he points out.
Built-in dispenser and touch tap
The detergent box usually takes up space in the sink and causes common inconveniences. therefore, the built-in distributor it is the solution to accommodate the cleaning material and provide a practical action during the washing of the dishes. And speaking of faucets, among the many options, in one of his projects the architect has invested in a touch mixer the practicality of the extender present in the gourmet versions.
“With just one touch of the metal, the resident can turn it on and off in seconds. Washing is much more efficient,” says the architect.
Wooden board in the tub
With right 7 m2 and a bench with 2.10m wide, in another kitchen project made by Cristiane has received special touches. With little room to cut food, she included a wooden board inside the tub. “With that, this area has added another utility: when you remove the piece, it’s able to be washed again,” he clarifies.
And the optimization didn’t stop there. Still inside the tub, placing a clothesline inside the tub simplifies handling and opens up a perfect space for drying parts – once you’ve finished cleaning. And alongside the main span, a bucket with a hollow basket provides nice support when the resident needs to wash a vegetable and drain it before taking it to the stove. “These are interesting features that free up space,” concludes the architect.
