At a time when time is precious and often, especially in big cities, meals are made in a hurry, the Cozinha com Afeto environment comes to remind us of the emotional importance of food for our routine. Created by architects Rosane Girardi and Alcides Theiss, from the firm Theiss Girardi Arquitetura, for CASACOR Santa Catarina 2018 , the 17 m² space seeks to present a new way of looking at food preparation. 
“We want to talk about the relationship with food, how this has changed due to the industrialization of food and, consequently, how the natural processes of food transformation have been left behind. We have lost our connection with nature, we have forgotten the cycles it needs to ripen its fruits, we no longer remember what the earth smells like”, explain the professionals. 
In the kitchen, the preference is for natural and healthy foods, for this reason, the vegetable garden in the external patio is available to the chef for delicious and fresh creations. Sustainability was also a concern and a criterion when choosing appliances: the stove is induction, instead of the traditional gas stove, and organic waste can be reused in the compost bin, which, subsequently, turns into fertilizer. 
Despite its compact size, the space serves as a place for meetings and gatherings. The central island brings together the stove and sink, and an “L” shaped table offers enough area for preparation and, of course, consumption and celebration around food.
