SKS, backed by LG Electronics, outfitted the newly renovated cooking school at Serenbe, a wellness-focused community outside Atlanta. The space features SKS Pro and Transitional series refrigeration, cooking, dishwashing and ventilation.

Why it matters

The Serenbe Cooking School gives SKS a showcase where guests can see its appliances in use through classes, chef dinners and demonstrations. Serenbe's emphasis on nature, sustainability and farm-to-table dining made the school a fitting setting for the brand.

The kitchen pairs a double wall oven with steam-combi cooking against induction and gas cooktops, with built-in French door refrigerators. Serenbe, founded in 2004 by Steve Nygren and his family, has more than 1,500 residents and a 29-room inn.

Culture Shift

The partnership extends the farm-to-table identity of Serenbe, a planned community founded in 2004, into a commercial kitchen showcase. It reflects a broader movement in which lifestyle communities pair local food sourcing with the appliances that prepare it.

Georgia residents who want hands-on training can look to the Serenbe Cooking School's classes and chef dinners as a place to learn with professional-grade equipment. Homeowners and builders planning kitchen upgrades can see the appliances in use before buying.

The takeaway

Professional-grade kitchen equipment is increasingly being showcased in community settings rather than only in showrooms. Home cooks considering an upgrade can benefit from seeing appliances demonstrated in real use before committing to a purchase.
