The project finds inspiration in the kitchens of villages: those where meal preparation uses firewood and smoke, and as a result of this, the shade of the walls gets dark. And also those where there’s a smell of wet soil and the utensils are made of pewter and clay and the whole space revolves around the act of feeding the soul.
Materiality in its purest form, of each of the elements that make up the space, is the leading thread of the proposal; apparent concrete, burned wood and volcanic stone plates complement the discourse, crowned by a suspended metallic gabion which contains broken pieces of clay objects: everyday use food and drink containers such as plates, pots, jars and glasses amongst others.
The functional scheme of the space seeked, through a couple of perpendicular slabs held by a conical shaped metallic structure (evident allusion to the Popocatépetl volcano), to develop a diferente way to understand and to live a contemporary kitchen, one with aroma of firewood and coal.
