THE FARMER'S KITCHEN - #683193948
The Diakounda Arts Centre Cafeteria embraces an internal patio while encouraging an immediate connection with the demonstrative farm, spaces for seedlings, external communal areas and shaded areas below trees. The design proposal works as a node within the masterplan that permits fluid passage through the building while welcoming momentary pauses in a variety of private and public patios, external gradual staircases, and gardens. The connection between farm, plant nursery, kitchen and table is a principal catalyst for the layout. This small scale culinary and agricultural laboratory will insure an emphasis on healthy food and sustainability in the new arts centre.
The cafeteria presents a strong frontal façade to the main thoroughfare of the masterplan. Upon entry the diner is greeted by an intimate central patio to the right and a small seed nursery to the left. Once past the monumental earthen walls the true permeable nature of the building can be appreciated. The dining room surrounds the central patio on three sides and opens through a perforated wall to the large public stairs and communal patio on the western side. In good weather this area will expand the capacity of the dining room past the one hundred person internal occupancy. The kitchen is connected directly to the seed nursery and aromatic garden and also has a private large staircase and courtyard for such activities as cleaning produce. The southern side has the largest agricultural area which is dedicated to the demonstrative farm. The building is raised 60 cm on a recycled tire foundation, and covered by a composite beam structure made of framing wood with a zinc roof and plywood drop ceiling for noise and heat mitigation.
