KITCHEN(2016)
Task:
Identify an architectural problem at your house and find the solution by making or modifying a room.
​
My problem:
When an event is made at my house, we hold it in the garden. The problem that has bothered my family for the last years is that to get to the garden you need to go through the entire house and people end up sitting in the living room, in the dining room, going upstairs to the bedrooms, etc. and we don't want them going through the house.
Solution:
There’s a hallway that goes by the side of the house, but it stops when it reaches the kitchen; therefore I need to rearrange the kitchen, so that a hallway can fit in the side. Nevertheless, this is very challenging because my kitchen is 7m x 3m and the hallway would be 85 cm wide + 15 cm of the wall’s thickness separating the kitchen and the hallway. This would make my kitchen 7m x 2m, a very unconventional, long space that will be required to fit all the things my parents think are necessary.
