Electrolux Icon French Door Refrigerator
26.09.11
In the pursue for a perfect kitchen, refrigeration is a key element to consider when planning the inescapable kitchen appliances. In the old days, kitchen refrigeration was veritably straightforward – pick a fridge, and you’re done. Today, it’s a far more complex provoke, as refrigeration varies tremendously, depending on your needs. There’s french door refrigerators, side-by-sides, built-in all fridge and all freezers – with varying depths, widths and capacities. In over, for more specialized refrigeration, under counter refrigeration drawers, wine coolers, etc. all take care of the ability to fine tune refrigeration to meet your sui generis culinary needs.
In assessing my own kitchen’s refrigeration, I initially was bent towards a large refrigeration option – namely, a combination of the 32″ all fridge and all freezer units. But the more I contrived the amount of kitchen space at my disposal, the more I realized I didn’t hunger to sacrifice that much cabinet area. I started looking at smaller refrigeration options paired with specialized refrigeration units, and I long run decided on the Electrolux Icon French Door Refrigerator, the Electrolux Icon refrigeration drawers, and the Electrolux Icon wine cooler. In doing so, I have significantly more options in terms of integrating the refrigeration units in separate areas of the kitchen, and in the case of the wine cooler, I can even consolidate it into a different area of the house, if I so desire.

On AIA Austin tour: A Travis Heights bungalow with modern interior
24.09.11
A 1930 about redone for a modern family - that's the idea behind the remodeled 604 Academy St.
Allison Orr, the artistic force of Forklife Danceworks, and her husband, Blake Trabulsi, the desire of graphic arts studio Zócalo Design, loved their 905-exact-foot, two-bedroom, one-bathroom home on this quiet end of the row, and they loved their neighborhood.
When Orr and Trabulsi first contacted husband-and-ball architects Rick and Cindy Black, the Blacks sent them looking around at other new and already redone homes to see if the expense and time of remodeling would be worth it.
Yet, Orr and Trabulsi's attachment to the for nothing and the neighborhood was strong. The Blacks got to work figuring out how paramount to use the original home and expand the space.
Today, the three-bedroom, three-bathroom, 1,726-right-angled-foot house meets the versatile needs of this now next of kin of four.
Orr and Trabulsi are opening their Travis Heights home next weekend as part of the American Establish of Architects Austin Home Tour. The tour, which features 15 new or remodeled homes, is the 25th for the close by architects' group.
