to provide genuine connection following the pandemic

This house merges two side by side properties to create an openness that is often unable to be met in other properties in the mews. A space of relief for the neighbors constrained to their smaller kitchen, this residence opens its doors to welcome their neighbors and their guests for meals. The magic of community often happens over a meal. This mews space offers a backyard garden space for fresh ingredients and more space for gathering. The diagrams shown demonstrate the various furniture arrangements that allow for gatherings of all kinds. The four individual tables all hold individual storage for equipment that would be used in cooking classes or for more casual dining use. The tables are light and easily moved to other locations of the house or outside for various needs. For larger dinner gatherings, the plan on the shown first page. Creating a gathering place within the mews itself supports the desire to foster connection between neighborhoods in a lonely age.
