Macoyosh Journal

while hearkening to our own styles and tastes is always the safest answer for custom home design, macoyosh builders also stays current on upcoming trends for luxury properties, and brings our clients insights on what appears to be the next big thing in building fashion. The more we know, the more we can decided what is and is not our individual styles.

We already know that smart homes are taking over by storm – electric car chargers in the garage, smart home features and low voltage packages that include starlink are becoming standard operating expectations. But high end luxury clients are evolving other amenities into something avant garde that in all the history of home building as we know it, has never been done before – the invisible kitchen.

Every real estate agent knows that the selling points of the house are the kitchen and the master bathroom. Historically we have seen appliances with the wolf or viking logo proudly displayed on every available surface But today many luxury homeowners are seeking out quiet finesse over statement piece hoods. After all, true wealth is silent, not ostenatious. Couture and housing experts have often taught that Wealth is best manifest by quiet warmth, which the new housing direction creates by moving away from the whites and grays of yore and returning to the organic natural wood styles that come in and out of design tendencies every few decades.

In line with the quietude and simplicity aligned with the invisible kitchen come more shelving rather than full cabinetry throughout. The overall idea includes minimalism, which small, focused shelves tend to support more than ornate cabinet fronts. Macoyosh is seeing a sweeping pull toward incorporating shelves where we have erstwhile seen shaker doors. And it doesn’t end there. Induction cooktops, panel ready appliances and other concealed features have played a part in virtually all recent projects and the demand for more continues to rise.

One of the attractions of the invisible kitchen is the ability to utilize the kitchen space as a continuance of the overall home when not in use. Cabinet door handles are disappearing in favor of push open cabinetry and other similar options, and color blending of cabinets, walls and backsplash meld the kitchen into the living space as a whole.

Will invisible kitchens continue to sweep the industry? Is this an indication that smart features have taught us to minimize the look and feel of gadgets, and appliances throughout our lives and home designs? Time will tell, but your home is your individualized palace and the truly important question is whether you would incorporate it into your own timeless personal sanctuary.
