In the past. kitchen budgets were often cut in favour of dining spaces. But with the trend toward front-of-house ‘show’ kitchens increasing, the aesthetics of items such as refrigeration and food service equipment are as important as the design of table and chairs. What were once considered ‘storage’ fridges are now becoming display cabinets.
SKOPE Refrigeration (www.skope.co.nz), in Christchurch New Zealand, has seen a shift in the types of cabinets being ordered such as glass doors over solid doors and glass viewing panels designed to showcase fresh produce. A good example of this is a custom refrigeration cabinet recently built for a circular bar at Queenstown International Airport in New Zealand. The architect’s brief was to design a premium bar that provides customers with maximum views out over the airport. The result of a challenging design is striking and it is one of the first things visitors to Queenstown see, and the last when they leave.
