The in-line kitchen

Electric System

For the New Logica System with units along the wall, the electric cables should come out below the sink because this is the only base unit that does not have a back panel. Since the system is provided with 14cm wide supporting brackets fixed to the wall, the free space on the wall is 76cm if the base unit is 90cm wide or 106cm if the base unit is 120cm wide. Nevertheless, the cables are not obliged to come out below the sinks because they can also run through the 30cm deep back section. Sockets must also be provided on the wall to supply electricity to the ovens, fridge, wine cellars, etc. in the sliding door cupboard unit.

Architectural Project

In the room shown, the living room area has been organised to divide the space while preserving an open, luminous appearance. This is achieved by using large floor-to-ceiling glass panels that slide in runners fixed to the ceiling, leaving the floor free of unsightly encumbrances. The final impression is that of a large, single, kitchen-living room space. The large sliding doors prevent the cooking odours from reaching the living room area. The sliding, glass Valcucine Living doors are 10mm thick and available transparent or customisable with various decorations (that can even by created by the customer).
In an open plan room such as this one, the special element New Logica System along the wall can rightly be considered as revolutionary. When necessary, it can conceal all the kitchen equipment and dishware. It is provided with a super-light, lift-up door with a counterweight balancing system that shuts with a simple touch of the hand and a vertically-sliding door that disappears behind the base units and slides up by means of a rack mechanism.

The New Logica System also contains a hood, requiring a 15cm diameter fumes outlet hole that must be made in the wall at a height that is calculated by adding 87.9cm to the height of the top and centred on the hob centerline. In an open space it makes sense to install tower units so that they look as if they are alcove-fitted, flush with the wall (the plasterboard false wall will be built to suit the height of the tower units). In this case, it will be necessary to make holes to allow the hot air generated by refrigeration to escape. The aeration holes must have a total minimum surface of 200cm2. There are some refrigerators on the market that do not require these holes because they are designed so that cold air enters half of the plinth while hot air exits the other half. 

Plumbing System

For the New Logica System with units along the wall, water drains and connections should come out below the sink because this base unit that does not have a back panel. Since the system is provided with 14cm wide supporting brackets hob centerline fixed to the wall, the free space on the wall is 76cm if the base unit is 90cm wide or 106cm if the base unit is 120cm wide. Nevertheless, the water pipes are not obliged to come out below the sinks because they can also run through the 30cm deep back section. The New Logica System hood also requires a 15cm diameter fumes outlet hole that must be made in the wall at a height that is calculated by adding 87.9cm or 99.9cm to the height of the top (depending on whether a 192cm or a 204cm New Logica System is installed). This hole must be centred on the hob centerline. For the alcove-fitted cupboard units it will be necessary to make holes to allow the hot air generated by refrigeration to escape (the plasterboard wall must be built to suit the size of the cupboard unit). The aeration holes must have a total minimum surface of 200cm2. There are some refrigerators on the market that do not require these holes because they are designed so that cold air enters half of the plinth while hot air exits the other half.
