Linwood Blue debuts Culinary Homes concept for epicureans. Beautiful, functional, custom-built homes designed for food and drink lovers worldwide

Los Angeles, CA — Linwood Blue, a new joint-venture between Blue Bear Brands and Linwood Homes today announced the debut of its new home concept, Culinary Homes. Prospective home buyers can choose from models that exemplify the ultimate in the food & drink lifestyle on the company’s website culinaryhomes.com beginning October 1, 2020. The website displays custom-home models specially designed to deliver the highest comfort and functionality for people who live for cooking, dining and drinking.

All the home plans are available for purchase and construction immediately, and can be built on homesites in North America, and other countries with similar building codes. Build schedules are subject to weather conditions.

The 2020 Pandemic ushered in a return of the art and joy of cooking and dining at home, with unprecedented numbers of people preparing their own food, and millions of others exploring innovative new home delivery meal services. During the past year, consumers have accepted lifestyles that greatly increased the number of hours spent in the home, and diminished pleasurable options for out-of-home gatherings. The global circumstances also reintroduced the pleasures of wine and spirits consumption with friends and family in home environments. Now, homeowners are seeking to enhance their home dining experiences and optimize the culinary functionality of their homes.

“People throughout the world have returned to the habit of preparing and consuming home-cooked meals. The resurgence of in-home dining experiences has made comfortable cooking and eating space more essential than ever,” said Roger Conley Wood, Chairman, Linwood Blue. “Our architectural plans have been redesigned to satisfy the needs of modern food loving homeowners, and our models can easily be customized for different cooking genres. We have home kits for nearly every budget,” added Alex Mascott, President of Linwood Blue.

The Culinary Homes models include options such as:
• Customized kitchens with expanded floor plans to accommodate a variety of culinary art styles.
• Cabinetry, cutting stations, countertops and surfaces from top names.
• Premium appliances.
• Generous shelving and storage space. Electrical packages with multiple outlets and extra electrical drops.
• A rich selection of flooring, door and window options.

On the culinaryhomes.com website, homebuyers can further personalize their living experience with a wide assortment of glassware, cookware, and tabletop products. “These homes are a shrine to food and beverage. We’ve carefully selected the best suppliers, and thought through different tastes from barbecue to Basque cuisine, each with their own aesthetic styles and unique utensils,” said Alena St. James, General Manager of Home Goods for Culinary Homes, and a veteran glassware designer for Ritzenhoff.

Other affordable options include tailored lighting, auxiliary ventilation, and complete beverage storage and display solutions, in additional to conventional wine cellars. For certain geographies, customized entrances are available to access open-air dining areas.

Culinary Homes has a network of building crews across North America giving it a national footprint upon launch.
