In Spain, the implementation of integrated kitchens in homes has become increasingly common in contemporary architecture. Although there are various configurations and designs that are applied according to the customs and cultures of societies, as we saw in Argentina or Uruguay, the essence of conceiving the kitchen space as a hub of activities and a gathering space among its inhabitants and visitors is a common factor. This has led architects to try to find innovative ways, technologies, or materials that achieve an aesthetic and harmony capable of providing functionality, spaciousness, and flexibility to homes.
Integrating kitchens with living-dining rooms, circulation spaces, or even outdoor areas, involves making certain design decisions, such as simply selecting features to highlight or conceal in these spaces. Variables such as the color of the furniture, the choice of lighting fixtures, the installation of appliances in certain locations, and the organization of space provide a wide range of opportunities to create more flexible spaces that are easily adaptable to future changes.
