Increasingly present in Brazilian kitchens, hot towers are a practical solution to optimize space, especially in reduced projects. Vertical cabinets that integrate oven, microwave, and other appliances, facilitating access and promoting organization. In addition to functionality, the hot tower enhances the design of the projects, providing a modern and harmonious look, ideal for those who wish to unite practicality and style.

How to organize a hot tower for the kitchen?
When assembling a hot tower, choosing the appliances is an important step. Typically, it is common to include an electric oven, microwave, and sometimes even a refrigerated wine cellar. It all depends on your routine in the kitchen and the space available. Consider the measurements of the appliances and how they will match. Seek a harmonious look, choosing models from the same line or color.

Around the table is the space for celebrations. The architect, participating in the exhibit for the first time, explains that Bella Vita was thought out in this relationship that has become even more intense in recent times.

What is the ideal height for appliances?
No one deserves to open the oven door and get burned! Therefore, getting the height of the appliances right is essential. There is no strict rule, as the most important thing is that everything is within reach of the resident. A recommendation is to leave the oven between 85 to 110 cm off the ground, while the microwave, around 120 to 150 cm.

Extra tip: ventilation!
Ventilation is something that many people forget, but it is super important in the hot tower. To prevent the appliances from overheating, it is crucial to leave a space of 2 to 5 cm on the sides and behind them. This aids in air circulation and avoids damaging the appliances due to excessive heat. Therefore, always follow the manufacturers' recommendations to ensure the durability of your appliances and safety in the kitchen. --
