Integrated Kitchens in Argentinean Housing: Houses and Flats That Are Organised in a Single Space

Regardless of the design adopted for kitchen spaces, for some years now and with increasing frequency, many architects have been deciding to design kitchens by integrating them into other rooms in the home. Free of dividing walls or joinery, integrated kitchens are implemented with the aim of leaving the activities that take place there in full view of everyone, encouraging interaction and communication between the inhabitants.

In general, integrated kitchens are characterised by the fact that they coexist with living and dining rooms in homes. In Argentina, linear designs are the most frequently used in flats, while kitchens with islands or U-shaped or L-shaped designs predominate in homes. However, as can be seen in Culinary Architecture: 16 Projects that Explore Different Kitchen Layouts, there are multiple design options that can be implemented by taking into account the climatic conditions of the place in question, the materials available or even the customs and beliefs of its inhabitants, among other factors.

This type of layout breaks away from the classic four-wall layout and, either through a change of flooring or by means of a certain type of furniture, is able to serve as a meeting and gathering space suitable for different times of the day. Although this layout allows for more space in the home and makes the most of natural light, it is necessary to take into account the correct ventilation of these spaces in order to prevent the other rooms from being impregnated with the odours produced by the food.

The following is a selection of homes and flats in Argentina where integrated kitchens have been designed to make the most of their interior spaces.
