NOTA KITCHEN: A new spatial product
The research focuses on creating a kitchen that enhances accessibility, social well-being, and independence. The project employed a multi-phase methodology, including user workshops, Al conceptualisation, and virtual reality simulations to iteratively develop and refine the kitchen design. Key elements include an adaptable kitchen island, a movable bin, and a double-faced storage system. These features aim to provide flexible, user-friendly, and aesthetically pleasing solutions. The project highlights the importance of affordability and practical implementation, aiming to set a new standard in Universal Design.
