Manufacturer Training Space Renovation | Madison, WI

PROJECT OVERVIEW

The Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove brands are synonymous with iconic design and incomparable performance. Twenty years after the Madison-based appliance company’s first Living Kitchen opened in its Bakke Center headquarters, the showpiece space no longer represented the brands’ products or reputation for excellence. A renovation of the Bakke Center Living Kitchen transformed a dated and dark showroom into a training space and a prototype for other living kitchens in galleries across the country, with luxurious finishes. The refreshed Living Kitchen better highlights the Sub-Zero’s product lines.

The overall design complements the company’s three product lines: contemporary, transitional, and professional. The contemporary lines’ black glass appliances are integrated into custom millwork. Decorative doors and inlays disguise the transitional line, while the more substantial professional line in stainless steel intentionally stands out.
