Transitional Induction Cooktop and Downdraft Ventilation in Complex Sant'Anna by Alessandra Cipriani.

Complex Sant'Anna

2017-2018 KDC Finalist

En lo alto de una colina de la campiña toscana, una antigua granja ofrece vistas panorámicas del olivar vecino y del impresionante paisaje. Bajo la dirección de Alessandra Cipriani, esta vivienda en ruinas ha sido restaurada y rediseñada para convertirla en una moderna villa italiana con nuevas instalaciones y comodidades contemporáneas. La cocina, de gran altura y techo abovedado, es el mejor ejemplo de ello.

From the start of the renovation, Cipriani’s clients knew the appliances they wanted to include in their new kitchen. Nothing but the reliability and superior technical performance of Sub-Zero and Wolf would do. A Sub-Zero wine storage unit and side-by-side refrigerator nestle next to a Wolf built-in oven in one corner of the kitchen, while the Wolf induction cooktop and downdraft provide ample cooking surface on the back wall. With the refrigeration and cooking necessities in place, it was time to turn to the aesthetics of the design. Seeking a modern look that also preserved the classic elements of an authentic Tuscan residence, Cipriani’s design restores and highlights the ancient craftsmanship of the original masonry. Pale exposed stone, plaster walls, and the commanding, brick, vaulted ceilings create a warm, muted palette. It is accentuated by luxurious stainless steel, polished countertops, and subdued gray timber joinery. The chandelier overhead adds just the right amount of modern, dramatic flair. Awash in the light of the arched glass doorway that leads directly to the sloping lawn, the kitchen balances the old and new elements in a strikingly natural way. Cipriani has combined the best of both for a seamless design dichotomy. Now all that is left to do is enjoy every bit of la dolce vita this new, picturesque retreat provides.
