How to use hoods in gourmet kitchens, by Flávia Gerab

Kitchens have taken the place of living rooms when it comes to receiving guests. With this in mind, Flavia Gerab, architect at CASA COR , explains how to arrange certain items in the space that encourage circulation and socializing.

According to the architect, gourmet kitchen projects have been increasingly requested, as cooking has become a much-appreciated hobby that provides moments of pleasure. To achieve this, in a space like the one in the photo above, several elements are mixed, where white predominates and highlights the metal presented in two finishes, stainless steel and the coating that simulates the effect of oxidation. To maintain a friendly atmosphere in the space, the professional suggests using a range hood that matches the space, eliminating odors and grease and renewing the air. With generous dimensions, the island countertop encourages socializing in the space.
