Kitschen Together is a closed-circle commercial kitchen designed for the residents of Miranda Estate as we move towards the concept of a Kitchenless City – a concept of homes without kitchens researched by architect Anna Puigjaner.

The Kitchenless City is important to begin to deconstruct some of the gender and class constructs attached to the domestic kitchen, where the unpaid kitchen labour can now be distributed evenly throughout the population eliminating the burden of cooking, oftentimes put on women in nuclear families. In Kitschen Together, we break our ties with what we imagine to be a traditional kitchen by separating the tasks involved in the preparation and consumption of food into individual buildings, allowing spaces for residents to connect with the importance of their allocated roles and to connect with one another. Kitsch is used as a tool to celebrate food and to refer to the persistent gendering of mass culture as feminine and inferior. This is the beginning of a mass culture that will be consumed by all – a culture that changes how we view the kitchen, how we view food, and how we view our roles in the kitchen.
