CIRCLE KITCHEN
2024 (in progress)Comunity kitchen design concept for Samong Haven in Sumberkima, Bali
Designed during and after Praksis Oslo residency Bricking-It : An Urgent Situation
The Circle Kitchen, situated underneath the roof of the traditional Limesan at Praksis Oslo’s creative project Samong Haven in Sumberkima, is designed to be democratic and egalitarian, without a clear front/back, nor private/public orientation. Using local brickwork techniques and a brick-laying pattern designed by fellow artist resident Elise Hobeke, the Circle Kitchen conceptualizes a visually permeable, multi-functional, open-air kitchen that can be activated by staff members for various programming initiatives, or by community members for events and ceremonies. The kitchen features counter and storage space, a standing bar, a sink and wash basin, a small refridgerator, strategic brickwork for additional shelf space around the central utility island, a pantry shelf, and functions in tandem with resident-designed rocket stoves just outside the Limesan.
