Modular Kitchen — Dry? Wet? What’s the Difference?
With modular kitchens being a vital part of luxury villas, a rising trend in Indian real estate is the separation between the cooking areas: dry and wet kitchens.
Wondering what’s the difference?
Well, a dry kitchen is where you do ‘not so sticky’ cooking — toasting bread, cutting fruits, baking cakes or microwaving popcorn. This part of the kitchen has all the modern appliances like fridge, coffee maker and oven, but doesn’t have a sink.
A wet kitchen is where all the messy work happens: carving and cleaning non-vegetarian items like chicken, meat and fish. This section usually contains a sink and dishwasher — for washing food and cleaning utensils — besides having a stove and other major appliances.

Convenience and utility being our major focal points, we have separated the dry and wet kitchens in Si-oul, with the dry kitchen adjacent to the dining room for easier access while serving meals.
All the dry kitchens at Si-oul have a modular kitchen unit from Euromobil and white goods from Siemens.
Adding a traditional Goan touch to the modern kitchens, the adjacent dining room is decked out in Azulejo — Portuguese tiles.
Besides showcasing beauty, these printed tin-glazed ceramic tiles also possess a functional capacity of controlling temperatures — cooling the interiors and creating a buffer against dampness, heat and noise. They also reflect light due to predominance of the color white in their design. All of Si-oul’s dining areas areas are inlaid with bespoke Portuguese tiles, printed and custom-made with care.
Possessing distinct features, each of the Si-oul villas is unique and serves as a statement by itself!
Beside the infinity pool, the earth house has an outdoor dining area, ideal for holding parties and barbecues on cool breezy days.
The kitchen is just one of the facets of Si-oul that has been designed after careful analysis of location and utility.
