Almost the 20% of the people living at Baruch Houses are coming from a foreign country. Most of them are families with children and there is a big percentage of unmarried mothers. That said, cooking for them is not only a part of their culture but sometimes is also a challenge.
So instead of having separate kitchens they can have common kitchens where they can cook for each other and interact more than usual. Kitchens can be sometimes the attractors within a family. Here it can be a place of exchanging cooking ideas or gathering for a specific issue concerning the community. Here children can meet with other children and being supervised by an adult. In few words it can host daily stories of the people living there.
One kitchen is approximately 6 square meters (64 square feet). If these areas combine in a larger one, then the left over space of each apartment can be the space of individual activity.
