2020年,伴随着大流行病导致的社会隔离过程,出现了许多不确定性和反思。我们改变了我们的习惯,我们的大部分日常活动都在我们的家里进行。面对这样一个混乱和不稳定的世界,该项目反映了对舒适感、保护和人类温暖的寻求。我们回顾了我们最原始的记忆的地方,以寻找这种必要的温暖。

In 2020, many uncertainties and reflections arose along with the process of social isolation resulting from the pandemic. We changed our habits, and most of our routines took place inside our homes. Facing such a chaotic and unstable world, the project reflects the search for feelings of coziness, protection, and human warmth. We looked back to the place of our most primordial memories to find this necessary warmth.

厨房的布局以其岛为中心元素,在某种程度上代表了米纳斯吉拉斯州农村的城市社会安排。在那里,房子的主角不是客厅,而是厨房,一切都围绕着传统的柴火炉发生。这个岛容纳了从储存到烹饪食物的所有厨房功能,同时也是一个丰富的准备区。考虑到这一点,我们决定将传统与当代结合起来,以加强这两种概念并不排斥,而是可以并存的想法,木制炉子旁边的电磁炉就是说明。

The kitchen’s layout has its island as a central element which, in a way, represents the social arrangements of the cities in the countryside of the state of Minas Gerais. There, the protagonist of the house was not the living room but the kitchen, where everything happened around the traditional wood stove. This island shelters all of the kitchen functions from storage to cooking food, as well as being an abundant preparation area. Taking this into consideration, it was decided to align tradition with contemporaneity to reinforce the idea that both are not exclusive concepts, but that they can be side by side, illustrated by the wood stove next to the induction cooktop.

咖啡师的厨房,从本质上讲,代表了人们所期望的感觉,在靠近传统的巴西木制火炉的热量中,喝着新鲜的咖啡,伴着一盘自制的烤奶酪面包。换句话说,这个空间代表了巴西米纳斯吉拉斯州人民最日常的活动。

The Barista’s Kitchen, in its essence, represents the so desired sensation, in the act of being near the heat of the traditional Brazilian wood stove, having a freshly brewed coffee, accompanied by a tray of homemade baked cheese bread. In other words, space represents the most everyday activity of the people from Minas Gerais, Brazil.
