High-tech appliance trends from the House
Beautiful Whole Home Project Concept House
On a tree-lined street in the
Brookhaven neighborhood of
Atlanta, a house built with the
goal of better living through design
opens its doors to the public this fall.
Each space was created with comfort,
peace and serenity in mind, from the
decluttered entryway, to the intuitive
kitchen with luxurious state-of-the-art
appliances designed to easily bring
healthy choices to a family’s nightly
dinner and provide fl exibility in food
preparation, to the laundry room with
(seemingly) space-age appliances that
make the chore a breeze, to the fi tness
room that puts wellness at the heart of
a family’s life.
It’s the House Beautiful Whole Home
Project Concept House, a fi rst-ever
custom-built house that showcases the
idea that you can to decorate your way
to tranquility.
Here’s a peek at impressive appliance
stand-outs in the Concept
House:
Kitchen: Luxury kitchen appliance
brand Signature Kitchen Suite
was chosen to showcase ingenious,
purposefully designed tools craft ed
to respect our authentic connection
to food. There’s the 36-inch Built-in
French Door Refrigerator, with its
convertible middle drawer featuring
fi ve temperature zones to choose
from, off ering the easiest of ways to
maintain freshness and the integrity
of everything you put in it.
But the real heart of the space is the
new 48-inch Dual-Fuel Pro-Range. If
you’re a home chef, this range will take
your breath away; but for a “Technicurean,”
or someone who is passionate
about cooking and innovation, it just
might bring a tear to your eye. Here
are the highlights of this awardwinning
range:
* Built-in sous vide: Once limited to
the pros, sous vide is a cooking technique
that utilizes precise temperature
control to deliver consistent,
restaurant-quality results. This is
the industry’s fi rst built-in sous vide
home range. Home chefs can achieve
professional-level results and capture

the full, true fl avor of foods.
* Power up or simmer down: Two
burners can deliver 23K BTU of horsepower
for better searing and quick stirfrying.
Two burners simmer down to
as low as 100 degrees to prepare sauces
and sugary confections. All grates are
dual-action for added ease.
* Two-zone induction: When the
recipe calls for instant temperatures
and precision control, two induction
zones meet the need.
* True Combi-Steam: The 18-inch
oven combines steam and convection
cooking for gourmet results.
* Wi-Fi-enabled: Through the touch
of a button on the Signature Kitchen
Suite app for Android and iOS devices,
users can enjoy the benefi ts of smart
functionality like preheating the oven
remotely.
Laundry: Make the “Ultimate
Laundry Room” that helps tackle
all your laundry needs so you can
wash every week and refresh every
day. Running loads of laundry isn’t
everyone’s favorite chore, but these
new appliances from LG Electronics
give it some high-tech fun, and more
importantly, make the process more
effi cient and eff ective. Here are a few
standouts:
* LG TWINWash System with LG
Sidekick: This two-in-one powerhouse
cuts up to 30 minutes off your washing
time with TurboWash technology.
But it’s the LG Sidekick that packs the
punch. It’s a secondary mini-washer
that sits beneath the main washer
and is designed for small loads. Have
a basket of whites with one red shirt?
No problem. Pop the shirt into the Sidekick
and run both loads at once - or run
them separately.
* LG Styler: A fi rst-of-its-kind steam
clothing care system and the only certifi
ed as asthma and allergy friendly
by Asthma and Allergy Foundation of
America, LG Styler reduces wrinkles
and odor, sanitizes and refreshes
garments with the fastest cycle on
the market today - as little as 20
minutes. It’s a slim closet-like unit
that uses pure steam (no chemicals!)
to refresh, de-wrinkle and deodorize
your clothes between cleanings.
It also works with other items like
bedding and sportswear. So, that raggedy
old stuff ed animal your toddler
won’t put down ... ever? Pop that into
the Styler and it’ll be fresh, clean and
sanitized.
Are they enabled with Wi-Fi? Ouioui!
Together, along with the companion
dryer, they create the ultimate
laundry room.
Aft er the public showing, the Whole
Home Project Concept House will be
put up for sale. You can read all about
it in House Beautiful’s November 2018
issue.
