Barroso Custom Homes Story

With over 20 years of experience, Toronto’s Barroso Custom Homes is a distinguished and award winning luxury interior design firm that prides itself on curating bespoke residences that transcend the ordinary – creating living spaces that embody the epitome of opulence and sophistication.

For Toronto’s Barroso Custom Homes, Gaggenau appliances elegantly highlight the heart of their award-winning custom homes. Plus, as a member of Gaggenau’s Club 1683, they love the personal guidance and support they receive, as well as the continuing education and expert training.

When Toronto’s Barroso Custom Homes was designing a custom-built kitchen for a residence in Toronto’s exclusive Kingsway neighbourhood, they turned to Gaggenau for a suite of kitchen appliances that could serve as both a seamless extension of the contemporary design language and an aesthetic focal point in its own right.

“Gaggenau is known for its commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail.The brand consistently incorporates cutting-edge technology into its appliances, including features like advanced cooking technologies, smart home integration, and energy-efficient solutions.”

says Rose Barroso, Founder and Operations Director.

While such mechanical fans are typically a purely functional element of home kitchens, the elegantly rigorous geometry of Gaggenau’s design is a subtle centerpiece. Defined by clean lines and carefully resolved proportions — not to mention whisper-quiet performance — the rectilinear design draws the eye while creating a dialogue with the minimalist form of the surrounding cabinetry.

Meanwhile, the modular cooktop below offers a similar blend of exceptional performance — including a sleek Teppanyaki grill — with intuitive and ergonomic functionality.

A culinary haven, the sociable kitchen space is bookended by Gaggenau’s multi-functional integrated appliances, including the professionally-inspired oven, a handle-free microwave that sits completely flush against the cabinetry, and a barista-quality coffee and espresso machine that brings an element of bespoke craft to home entertaining — even for the most complex coffee orders.

The refrigerator, freezer, and wine cabinet create a truly captivating combination. All three feature industry-leading temperature control with a wealth of precisely calibrated settings, combined with beautifully streamlined contemporary finishes. And, if the espresso machine is the daytime draw, the wine steals the show in the evening hours.

From ranges and dishwashers to refrigerators, ventilation hoods and coffee machines, Gaggenau’s portfolio of sleek, meticulously crafted and technologically sophisticated products is a mainstay for top designers and home-builders like Toronto’s Barroso Custom Homes.
