Adventurous Architect

What makes the the apron front sink so popular and are they really as timeless as they once seemed? After years of service in kitchens everywhere, from HGTV renovations to suburban McMansions, the modern farmhouse aesthetic might be said to be neither particularly modern nor farmhouse. But the farmhouse sink, and its close cousin the apron front, seem to persist. San Francisco architect Anand Sheth, for one, thinks it’s time to move on. “My clients wanted a farmhouse/apron sink in their Noe Valley residence in San Francisco, and we worked it into the streamlined, warm, modern palette of the lofty kitchen,” he says. “But we had numerous detail issues, as the irregular rounded corners interacted with our natural marble counters. In the end we made it work, but I swore off this sink style forever!” Read what designers are saying about the farmhouse fixture in our 2024 Kitchen Trend Report ?? https://shorturl.at/EaSoO
