FIND OUT WHY THIS NEW KITCHEN SHOWROOM
IS A MUST-SEE DESTINATION.
CANADIAN HOME TRENDS CAN YOU
TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT THE DESIGN
OF YOUR NEW SHOWROOM?
AMIT THALE Habitat by Aeon is located in
the old Ledingham Design Building in Mount
Pleasant which has been honored by the
City of Vancouver as a design landmark. We
have put together eight highly interactive
kitchen displays that focus on Italian design.
The kitchens are designed to demonstrate
five different moods: modern/contemporary,
traditional, transitional, luxury and rustic.
This covers all types of models and styles
a homeowner or designer will design. We
also specialize in baths, closets, doors and
furniture!
CHT WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE AN
INTERACTIVE SHOWROOM?
AT Our goal when designing the showroom
was to create a space where design is the
top priority and clients can touch, feel and
experience the exact kitchen as it will be in
their home. Eight full kitchen displays allow us
to show a wide variety of different elements
including stone doors, creative storage
solutions, hidden kitchens, a sliding bar top,
mirrored cabinet insides and even a leather
bar. Clients get an opportunity to experience
all of these different elements firsthand and
can make design decisions based on the real
thing rather than photographs.
CHT DO YOU HAVE A PERSONAL
FAVORITE?
AT My personal favorite is the kitchen in
the hidden room from Minotti Cucine. It is
an experience to be in that room, where
the ambience is fairly dark. This kitchen
follows the Minotti Cucine philosophy of
"visual silence" where the kitchen does not
look like a kitchen but part of your living
area. The cooktop, oven and fridge are all
hidden. You slide the bar top to reveal the
sink and the cooktop and the pocket doors
on the back wall open to your oven and
workstation. Even the wood paneled fridge/
freezer is integrated for a very seamless look
throughout. We call it the Bugatti of Kitchens.
