Story starts on page 5. Hot & Cold The Basics in Appliances Still Your Best Bet What if your refrigerator gave today’s weather report each time you opened the door? Or, your range printed directions to the nearest movie theater? Innovative? Yes. Smart. No. Technology for the sake of technology isn’t always a good thing. Just like bigger isn’t always better. More than anything, you want your refrigerator to keep your food and beverages at the right temperature, and to keep them fresh for as long as possible. You want your oven to provide a great cooking experience and food that tastes good. You want both to look great in your kitchen – to look as if they fit within the lifestyle you have chosen. I have been the midwest / midsouth distributor for Sub-Zero appliances for nearly 25 years, and for Wolf appliances the last seven. During that time the company has been as innovative as much as anybody. But the innovation has been to make what is, even better. For example, the new line of Sub-Zero’s now being introduced won’t look all that much different to the average consumer than they ever have. But inside, behind the interior shell, is a new air filter that kills bacteria and eliminates gases that deteriorate fresh fruits and vegetables. A water purification filter has been added so that the water you get from the dispenser is as fresh as water can be. And now the crisper and deli drawers are two to three degrees cooler than the rest of the refrigerator – at precisely the right temperature these foods like best. While it seems like I’ve heard it a million times, I am still amazed at how many people – when talking about refrigeration – call out Sub-Zero by name, and now Wolf as well. And even more interesting, how many owners say words that are nearly 100% identical to our marketing themes: Sub-Zero keeps fresh foods, fresher longer. It is because they see it. If 10 days after buying a fresh head of lettuce it still looks fresh in the crisper drawer, then seeing is believing. How much should the best in kitchen appliances cost? More than ever, you do get what you pay for. But, interestingly, the cost of a Sub-Zero / Wolf / ASKO kitchen is not very distant from other competitors top-line brands. Whether you are building a new home, or remodeling your existing kitchen, you can now purchase one of our appliance packages for around $15,000. For details, please see the list of dealers in this issue of Fantastic Kitchens magazine. If you happen to be in the Cincinnati marketplace, please plan to visit our manufacturer showroom. Here we display every Sub-Zero, Wolf, ASKO, Faber and Scotsman appliance made. We are proud to show it off, and to answer your questions – with absolutely no obligation.

I love to cook but I don’t like to clean up! They clean beautifully and you can load so much in. They’re so quiet too; you’d never know they were washing.” Ultramodern Home [FROM PAGE 5] INSPIRATION HAS COME FROM modern European influences to create a contemporary yet classic kitchen that is not only practical and inviting but also transitions seamlessly into the wider environment of this 1970’s ultramodern home. New Kitchen Completed April 2008 Overall Cost of Kitchen $200,000 Our Priorities for the Kitchen “We wanted a kitchen with great flow and function that worked well with the contemporary feel of the rest of the house but, most of all, could be a normal, busy, comfortable, inviting working kitchen.” Design Inspiration? Architect and world renowned kitchen designer, Johnny Grey. The Story Behind the Kitchen? “We lost our last house to a fire. It was a total loss and the last couple of years have been especially hectic getting ourselves re-established. Having lived in a rental home for a while it is so good to have our very own space back. We’re just happy to be here, put on some music, open some wine, try some new recipes, enjoy the chance to cook and unwind in our own home.” Intimate Dinners or Lots of People? Definitely small groups of friends or family. 6 Fantastic Kitchens Fall 2008 Designer’s Thoughts “The sleek overall design is highlighted by the choice of unique and quite beautiful materials including afromosia wood from Africa for the cabinetry, teak wood and marble from Pakistan for the floor, hand-crafted gold-leaf tile from Venice on the backsplash, and custommade concrete for the countertops. Each one makes this kitchen special.” – Donna Rosenthal Allied ASID, Bella Casa LLC Who Did It? Kitchen Designer: Donna Rosenthal Allied ASID, Bella Casa LLC • Cabinets: Custom afromosia wood from Africa created by Wilson Woodworking and Matt Wilson • Countertops: Handmade “Mocha” concrete supplied by Classico Tile and Marble • Flooring: Marble and limestone supplied by Classico Tile and Marble • Backsplash: hand-crafted gold-leaf tiles with copper finish supplied by Classico Tile and Marble • Lighting: Sombra Collection in old bronze iron finish supplied by Bella Casa LLC • Faucets: All KWC • Sinks: by Julien • Major Appliances: Sub-Zero 48” side-by-side stainless refrigerator/freezer with ice and water dispenser in the door.

Ergonomic Function [OPPOSITE] THE LARGE SCALE AND SLEEK DESIGN OF the Sub-Zero side-by-side refrigerator in a stainless finish blends with the overall kitchen design as well as providing state-of-the-art ergonomic function. “There is so much space inside and my food definitely stays fresher,” says homeowner Ellen Edelman.

It’s the functionality. Look is important but functionality is a must. There are so many features that are great about Wolf products.” 8 Fantastic Kitchens Fall 2008 Find BASCO at: 4363 Lyman Drive Hilliard, OH 43026 Tel. 614-876-8555 www.ferguson.com Freshness Above All Sub-Zero Introduces all New Built-In Series The art of kitchen design meets the science of food preservation in the new Sub-Zero built-in series. Beneath a refined exterior, advanced technologies work together to create something more than just a refrigerator. It is a comprehensive food preservation system, guarding the freshness and wholesomeness of food and water like nothing before. Air Purification Crisper Crisper Purer Purification Lots More Our new exclusive and patented Air Purification System continuously scrubs odors, ethylene gas, and other contaminants such as bacteria, mold and viruses. Air is completely refreshed every 20 minutes. The system even removes odors and gasses naturally emitted by some foods (apples, for instance) that cause over-ripening and hasten the spoilage of other foods. Thanks to the innovative redesign of the evaporator portion of the refrigerator, the crisper and deli drawers form a special lowtemperature zone that stays two to three degrees cooler than the rest of the refrigerator. This enables vegetables, fruits and meats to be stored at precisely the temperature these foods like best, just above 32 degrees. Advanced Water Filtration removes not only suspended particles but also chemical pollutants, viruses, and bacteria. And unlike systems that leave water with a flat, sterile flavor, the Sub-Zero system preserves the refreshing, clean taste of water as nature intended it. With our pushand-release feature, you can quickly change the filter with one hand. ■ Freshness Cards that keep storage tips and use and care information always at hand. SubZeroFresh.com ■ The Redesigned Control Panel that puts more information and greater control at your fingertips with touch-sensing technology. ■ A new “max ice” command produces 40% more ice for a party. ■ A Flip-Up Grille provides easy access for quick routine maintenance. Vacuum out the condenser or change the water filter with ease. ■ Door Shelves adjust at one-inch increments for increased customization. The new design creates more usable interior space too. ■ Advanced Hinges are lower profile than before, creating a new cabinet customization option: flush inset for a more integrated look. 10 Fantastic Kitchens Fall 2008 Powell Fantastic KITCHENS Startwitha 60”WolfRangeandthen... Story by Anne Keeling • Photography by Craig Thompson Fantastic Kitchens Fall 2008 11 Stained Concrete [RIGHT] PROVIDING BALANCE TO THE MASSIVE WOLF range is the eye-catching Habersham-style hutch opposite and the oversized island with its single slab, stained concrete worktop. “The concrete is practical, durable and consistently cool making it ideal for bread and pizza preparation,” says homeowner Larry Avesian. [BELOW] “I’M VERY PARTIAL TO THE WOLF RANGE AND very partial to the 60-inch size,” says homeowner and trained chef Larry Avesian. “It’s really unbelievable what it can do. It’s wonderful the way it cooks evenly, its versatility, all the burners, the griddle top, the huge ovens, the char grill. I could go on and on and on about it! For me that’s my favorite thing about this kitchen.” The backsplash is made from individual hand-made and painted Mexican tiles. [BELOW, RIGHT] THE STAINED, PAINTED AND GLAZED finish of this Habersham-style, custom-made hutch gives it a striking, aged look.

The large Wolf range was a must. It had the professional quality, size and features that we wanted. Everything else worked from there.” The Most Fun in the Kitchen? “Pizza parties with our daughter and her friends. There’s room around the island for everyone. Everybody joins in making their own. You set the ovens to the highest temperature which is 500-degrees, then put the fan on. The pizza stone goes in the oven to heat up. It cooks pizzas just like a pizzeria. And you can do loads at the same time. It’s wonderful.” Favorite Meal to Cook for Friends Prime Rib with whipped horseradish, Caesar salad and roasted herb redskin potatoes. Dream Guest. Who would we Invite? “Bobby Flay. I’d like to have a cook-off with him.” Design Ideas. Where does our Inspiration come from? “Looking through lots of magazines and watching HGTV.” Designer’s Thoughts “Larry is a culinary trained chef and a very big cook. He wanted professional standard appliances, loads of countertop, loads of functionality. Everything was designed around the enormous range. It was a challenge to ensure the range didn’t overwhelm the kitchen. I think we did it.” – Connie McAlister, D.L. Atkinson, Inc. Who Did It? Kitchen Designer: Connie McAlister, D. L.

Not only did we have a new little one to share with them but we had a new kitchen to show off as well! It was a wonderful day. There was plenty of room for everyone to gather around the island and talk while the cooking was in progress.

Casual, Smart No Pressure Atmosphere Appliances for All Budgets 5310 Center St, Hilliard, Ohio 43026 614-876-4515 • www.jacksappliance.com Builders, Remodelers, Developers Welcome Frequently Asked Questions About Sub-Zero Question: It’s one thing to have a great looking refrigerator. But I want it to function in the best way possible by helping me keep foods fresher longer and reducing wastes. How does a Sub-Zero fit my requirements? Answer: Sub-Zero is the most recognizable high-end appliance brand in the United States. Outside, our styles are legendary so we’ll always look best in your kitchen. Inside, we continue to deliver technology second to none, including our top-rated refrigeration systems – one to regulate the freezer, one to regulate the refrigerator. And in our newest models, our crisper / deli drawers keep their contents 2-3 degrees lower. This enables vegetables, fruits and meats to be stored at precisely the temperature these foods like best, just above 32 degrees. Summary: A Sub-Zero keeps fresh foods fresher longer, up to twice as long as competitive products. So while other Americans waste an average of $728 year in spoiled food – or 21 million grocery bags worth if you put it all together, Sub-Zero owners can be happy knowing that this is one statistic they won’t be a part of. Question: Don’t refrigerators use a lot of energy? How can I save on energy costs? Answer: Do what Dad always said: Keep the door closed when not using – plan, don’t browse. But for those who don’t want to follow some of the best advice ever, and even for those who do, we advise the purchase of a Sub-Zero. Our selections include Energy Star rated appliances, packed with the newest in energy saving technology, insulation, and two refrigeration systems which mean the most efficient use of cold air. Even our largest unit can operate on pennies per day, or less power than a 100-watt light bulb. Now that’s savings! 24 Fantastic Kitchens Fall 2008 The Short North Fantastic KITCHENS Wine, Music & Friends Complete this Kitchen Story by Anne Keeling • Photography by Craig Thompson Fantastic Kitchens Fall 2008 25 Reversed Shaker-Style [LEFT] FRONT PANELS OVER THE SUB-ZERO REFRIGERATOR AND FREEZER drawers feature the same reversed Shaker-style door style and carbon stainless handles as the rest of the cabinetry. “It’s a beautiful unit and hidden so well that it’s completely lost within the cabinets,” says the homeowner.
