High impact

As any real estate professional will testify, a good kitchen can sell a house. And for a high-end condominium, high-quality finishes and the latest appliance technology are not just desirable they are crucial.

The condominium featured on these pages is part of a luxury development by Plaza Properties. In-house designer Erik Jorgensen specified top-of-the-line Fisher & Paykel appliances for all the kitchens.

"This is a brand we specify for all our projects," he says. "Fisher & Paykel has a good range of products with the performance and aesthetics to complement modern interiors."

For this project, Jorgensen specified the new French Door Active Smart¢ refrigerator, which features two central doors and a large freezer drawer.

"This refrigerator appeals for a variety of reasons, not least because it is so spacious, and offers particularly good value for money."

The French Door refrigerator has a flush-mounted water dispenser, which offers chilled, filtered water, and an internal ice maker that provides clean, crisp ice cubes.

The Active Smart technology continually monitors and adjusts the flow of cool air, so that food remains at the optimum temperature. Humdity-controlled fruit and vegetable drawers also help to keep food fresher for longer.

The Fisher & Paykel AeroTech single oven is another appliance endowed with features that exceed those of a standard oven it has 10 cooking modes.

A matching Fisher & Paykel gas cooktop provides five burners, including simmer, rapid, and wok burners.

"We like the way this cooktop sits flush with the countertop," says Jorgensen. "We find buyers also appreciate the fact that spills are contained."

Also shown is a Fisher & Paykel Double DishDrawer, which allows two loads to be washed simultaneously.
