As a protagonist of the Argentinean culinary scene, the barbecue plays a prominent role. In architecture, beyond the dimensions of the spaces where they are installed, grills are consolidated as a meeting point for visitors and residents of the houses, coming into direct contact with the customs and culture of the country.
The incorporation of new technologies and materials in the configuration of grills makes it possible for spaces to be able to adapt to the needs of their users, understanding the relationship that must exist between size, use and location. In conjunction with equipment such as countertops, wash basins, storage spaces and others, the design of the grills must consider the necessary measures to guarantee a correct draught, giving rise to a smoke-free space and where the relationship between the surface area of the fire and the size of the draught is optimal for its correct functioning. By means of enclosures of different characteristics, there are multiple solutions applicable to the exterior spaces of houses to hide or conceal the figure of the grills according to the quality of the space and design that is sought.
