These spaces make daily life more efficient, as well as allowing for a closer and more pleasant coexistence between residents
With the frenzy of daily life, we don’t always have the time to sit down calmly and eat a good meal, or to prepare and transport the food to the table set in the dining room.
Therefore, one comfortable place for breakfast OR small meals if it is necessary to eliminate the old habit of eating with a plate in hand – especially when we are sitting in front of the sofa. Cups, as they are also known, in addition to being practical, must be a cozy and comfortable corner.
In his projects, the architect Marina Carvalhoopposite the office that bears his name, he always finds some space in the kitchen or in another room to implement this small room.
“Sometimes, that desire to have a quick meal without leaving the kitchen strikes. And it is precisely for these occasions that this establishment comes in handy”, he underlines.
Find out how Marina designed some of them fast food corners through creative solutions and according to the proposal of the projects.
simple ideas
It is not necessary to have a generous space to create a corner for quick meals. A table, even if small and adjacent to the kitchen, is enough to form this space. In this apartment, the small bench and the stools structure the place, which ends up being more enhanced thanks to the natural light that comes from the balcony.
Light and light, the environment combines inserts in white porcelain. “The bench is made of MDF covered in Mauve Oak, measures 86 x 60 x 4 cm and is fixed 10 cm inside the masonry wall with white inserts”, explains the architect.
connection environments
In this apartment, Marina Carvalho has used the space between the kitchen and the laundry room to create a corner. With one white quartz tabletwo formica chests of drawers, in two shades of blue, and two charming stools, the architect managed to exploit a space that would have remained empty between the two environments.
Compact and streamlined, the site needs some adaptations. “In place of the current dining bench there was a sink and a washing machine. During the renovation we moved the structure to the old service room, freeing up space for a larger, better used kitchen, full of natural light and bossa “, explains the architect.
color and coatings
For those who want a practical kitchen, the fast food countertop it is basic, as it is walking distance from where the food is prepared. In the kitchen of this apartment, the architect Marina has enhanced this space by covering the wall with a hexagonal case and illuminated with LED tape built into the cabinet.
In addition to thinking about practicality, the professional played with colors and textures, making all the difference when it came to creating a composition that was fun, elegant and, above all, just as the client had imagined it.
functional furniture
The corridor kitchen in this project is narrow and long, but it was possible to create a corner for quick meals without hindering the circulation of the room.
OR expected furniture, in wood and metal, combines business with pleasure, as one of the parts serves as a pantry, including a drawer for storing groceries and utensils. The furniture instead has a bench that is often used for family breakfast.
For decoration, a beautiful chalkboard for cards and recipes is enhanced by the built-in led light in the carpentry. “Beyond the functional issue, the furniture doesn’t go all the way up to the ceiling, making the set lighter as the furniture doesn’t touch the floor, simplifying daily cleaning,” says Marina.
Corner with functionality
The challenge of this project was reconfigure the distribution of the kitchen to satisfy the main needs of customers, who love to receive and cook.
To be able to do it in front of the guests, Marina has relocated the hob and oven in the peninsula in the center of the room and, to make the most of the space, has mounted a bench that transforms into a corner for quick meals, making the room even more versatile. .
“With these small ideas we gain more space. Over there, the residents can prepare food and serve those sitting on stools,” concludes the professional.
