Cooking and circulation
At the island
See how the cooktop, downdraft, and prep space come together, and how it feels to move around the island while you cook.
JennAir at KI Atelier
Vancouver's home for JennAir. More than 50 appliances, installed and working across 12 kitchens you can walk through, open, and use.
See the refrigeration, ovens, cooktops, and wine columns the way they'll be in your own home, in real cabinetry, under real light, with someone who knows them on hand.
Showroom experience
An appliance looks different once it's in a real kitchen, with cabinetry around it and the right light on it. That's the part a brochure can't show you.
Open the doors, stand at full scale, see how a finish reads in the room. The small differences that decide whether a kitchen feels right to you.
Cooking and circulation
See how the cooktop, downdraft, and prep space come together, and how it feels to move around the island while you cook.
Alignment and proportion
See the ovens, steam, speed ovens, and coffee at full height, and how they line up against the cabinetry.
Panel-ready integration
See how panel-ready refrigeration, dishwashing, and wine storage disappear into the cabinetry as part of the finished kitchen.
Showroom scale
The JennAir presence at KI Atelier is not limited to one display. It runs through the showroom, giving visitors several ways to understand the appliances.
Each area shows a different relationship between product, cabinetry, surface planning, cooking, refrigeration, entertaining, and daily use.
12
Full kitchen displays show JennAir appliances with cabinetry, surfaces, lighting, working heights, and circulation around them.
50+
The showroom includes cooking, refrigeration, wall ovens, dishwashing, wine storage, coffee, ice, and specialty appliances.
Live
A live kitchen gives key cooking appliances a practical setting where layout, movement, ventilation, and use can be discussed together.
Next Generation Downdraft
The NextGen induction downdraft, developed with Bora, pulls steam and smoke straight down at the cooktop, before it reaches the room. The extraction sits right at the surface, so it works wherever the cooktop goes.
In our live kitchen the difference shows quickly. The cooktop keeps the cooking zone open, takes away the need for an overhead hood, and lets you see how ventilation can be built into the design.
DOWNDRAFT VENTILATION
The venting sits in the cooktop, so the island stays low and open, with nothing overhead to break the room.
INDUCTION COOKING
Fast, precise heat that reacts the moment you change it, for searing, simmering, and everything between.
CLEANING AND CARE
The filter lifts out from the top, and the parts that need washing come out for a quick wipe after cooking.
VENTING OPTIONS
Send the air outside or recirculate it through a filter, so it works whether or not there's an exterior wall to reach.
Appliance range
The JennAir experience extends beyond one appliance. Visitors can move from cooking surfaces to ovens, refrigeration, wine storage, dishwashing, coffee, ice, and the smaller details that shape daily use.
The focus stays on application, including cabinet planning, tall-wall rhythm, island use, food storage, dishwashing, and the support spaces around entertaining.
Cooking
Induction, gas, rangetops, and downdraft cooking can be compared by heat source, layout, countertop relationship, and ventilation path.
Ovens
Wall ovens, steam, speed, and combination ovens show how cooking function, door swing, control height, and tall cabinetry work together.
Refrigeration
Column refrigeration, drawers, wine storage, and undercounter units can be judged by access, lighting, panel treatment, and food storage planning.
Panel integration
Panel-ready refrigeration and dishwashing show how appliances can sit quietly within the millwork or become a deliberate part of the composition.
Entertaining
Coffee, ice, warming, wine, and undercounter storage help show how a kitchen supports hosting, morning routines, prep areas, and secondary zones.
Details
Obsidian interiors, dark glass, lighting effects, touch controls, and flush installation details are shown alongside real cabinet finishes.
For your project
A kitchen is decided long before it's installed, in the choices about how it cooks, stores, and holds a room together. This is where those choices get made in person.
Bring the drawings, the finishes you are weighing, the client who needs convincing. Everything is here to see and work through at full scale, with someone who knows the appliances beside you.
Homeowners
See how the cooking, refrigeration, wine, and coffee you are choosing will live in the kitchen you are building.
Designers and architects
Test placement, panel integration, and sightlines, and see how a finish reads against the cabinetry it sits beside.
Builders and developers
Work through access, delivery, and maintenance on real installations, and hold the same specification across every unit.
Trade partners
A finished space to walk a client through the options and reach a decision, with the kitchen making the case instead of a mood board.
Showroom views
A visit to KI Atelier gives JennAir a physical setting. You can read the scale of an appliance wall, stand beside an island, open refrigeration, and see how the products sit with real cabinetry and surfaces.
These views offer a preview of the showroom experience, from cooking and refrigeration to wine storage, integrated panels, and the details that are easier to understand in person.
