In 2016, Arauco launched a call to rethink the space of the kitchen with the objective of finding simple and attractive solutions for the houses of the Worker’s Housing Plan (PVT), located in Constitución, Maule Region, Chile.
The competition developed within the framework of the II Encuentro Espacios Vesto, and it forced participants to consider a simple, low-cost assembly that could be self-constructed and expanded according to the needs of the users. In addition, each project had to consider self-supporting furniture that didn’t require support holes on the walls to preserve the acoustic insulation of the dwellings.
We present below the kitchen designed by Jhan Arancibia, plus a list of all the necessary materials so you can build it yourself.
ARANCIBIA’S KITCHEN
