LOCATING COOKTOPS AND OVENS affects how they work and how cooks function.A cooktop against the wall is much better for efficient venting by both hood and downdraft systems, plus you've got a great space to make an artful backsplash. If you do prefer an island cookiop, consider an 8-in. to 10-in. jump in countertop heights to provide a bit of a wall to send smoke and steam to a vent. For built-ins, consider stacking a convection oven,a microwave,and a warming oven all in one wall to consolidate heat.
A STRUCTURAL WALL WAS REMOVED and a fake beam added to make a symmetrical entry to this renovated kitchen. The cooktop and ventilation hood take center stage in the new design . A drop-in cooktop allows for a big, beautiful tumbled-stone tile backsplash to incorporate mosaics. Big drawers below hold pots and pans.
COOKTOP AND OVEN ARE NOT STACKED BUT ARE ClUSTERED in the cooking workspace of a kitchen in the Rocky Mountains. The masonry heater in the corner energizes a hot plate that can keep tea kettles and plates warm.
