IRVINE, Calif. (January 12, 2016)­­ — Thermador, the iconic American appliance brand that is the leader in luxury cooking, will be featured throughout the beautifully constructed 2016 New American Home – demonstrating how the brand’s array of innovative cooking, cooling and cleaning appliances provide freedom to personalize the kitchen and every room of the home to a culinary enthusiast’s unique style of entertaining. The New American Home is the official showcase home of the International Builders’ Show (IBS) and is designed to be a contemporary, multi-generational “desert elegance home,” built and designed by Element Design Build.

“Ultimate entertainers want to deliver a memorable, enjoyable experience for their guests, whether it is during a casual brunch, formal dinner or overnight visit, and integrating Thermador appliances in a variety of rooms throughout this luxury home brings that to life,” said Zach Elkin, Director, Brand Marketing, for Thermador. “After 100 years, Thermador continues to redefine, reshape and reignite inspiration for the design and function of today’s kitchens for the culinary enthusiast, and there’s no better place to showcase this innovation than in the 2016 New American Home.”

To enhance any gathering of friends and family outside of the kitchen, highly personalized Thermador Culinary Preservation Centers have been incorporated throughout the home to provide added comfort for guests. Two of the bedrooms – including the master suite – feature Beverage Centers with Thermador refrigeration, built-in coffee machines and convection warming drawers to ensure a beverage or snack are within reach to start or end the day on an extra relaxing note. The media room incorporates Thermador refrigeration and a MicroDrawer® Microwave so there’s no need to leave during a game or movie to grab a chilled beverage or heat up small bites.

The spectacular 5,200-square-foot 2016 New American Home is populated with innovative Thermador appliances within the kitchen and also in the prep kitchen to enable masterful meal creation in front of guests, and ensure the preparatory work and clean-up remain behind-the-scenes.
