About the project
The small space was previously defined by exposed concrete structure and large glazed surfaces facing both streets of the block on a first floor.
We began by characterizing the social area, the heart of this project, through a square piece located in the middle of the space: an island. We chose to unify the kitchen space and the eating activity in the same 35-inch-high piece of furniture in front of the pre-existing smooth concrete counter. It contains the oven, storage room, shelves, and a quartz top that extend over two of its sides as a table admitting four stools below and its seated users. Hidden electrical outlets were raised so that during the day it could be used as a work space. The area is complemented by a floating shelf in black sheet metal that functions as a support for books and a coffee maker. This way, the kitchen extends from wall to wall practically without being perceived by the sight, through breaking down each functional element in a designed piece of furniture.
