The Importance of the kitchen
"The kichen of the year 2011 is multinational, combing cooking, eating, sitting and living space"UNstudio's founders Ben Van Berkel and Caroline Bos main design philosophy is the kitchen being the central hub of the residential building. Van Berkels idea of the kitchen replacing the significance the living room as the most important place in the house is that you don't only just cook in the kitchen but you can also sit down and relax. So this relationship from the brief will not be kept and modified a further more to facilitate the ideas of the architects, whether it would be to incorporate or combine some of the elements of the formal living room to the kitchen.
