Hood
Effect
Cindy Rendely Architexture
The trick to obscuring this bulky island
range hood? Smoke and mirrors. Cindy
Rendely Architexture disguises the
equipment in a highly reflective casing
– a mirror, in fact – bringing sky blues and
ravine greens from the adjacent garden
into the warm Boffi kitchen. An island
topped in stainless steel exaggerates the
effect. CRARCHITEXTURE.COM
Qanūk Interiors
Simple, bold and functional: this kitchen
by Qanūk Interiors ticks all the boxes, with
some added eclecticism for two clients
who love to cook. Masquerading in glossy
white subway tile framed by dark grout, the
hood blends into the backsplash, letting
two double-hinged sconces by Restoration
Hardware steal the spotlight. QANUK. CA
FrankFranco Architects
A clean palette of white and wood took this
suburban kitchen by FrankFranco Architects
from cookie-cutter to clutter-free. Fabricated
by Pomegranate Cabinetry, the concealed
hood dressed in flat-cut walnut sits against
a wall of back-painted glass, strategically
drawing the eye toward the heart of the
kitchen: the cooktop. FRANKFRANCO.COM
