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-theart
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.
“House Beautiful’s Whole Home Project
shows how your house can enhance the
whole you: your energy, your peace, your
happiness,” said Carisha Swanson, senior
market editor, House Beautiful and Hearst
Design Group. “Th is is the fi rst-ever custom
built house that showcases ideas and
innovations that feed happiness and drive
well-being in every facet of our lives.”
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. Th ere’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
award-winning 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. Th is is the industry’s fi rst builtin
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 stir-frying.
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: Th e 18-inch oven
combines steam and convection cooking
for gourmet results.
• Wi-Fi-enabled: Th rough 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: Th is 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.
