51st Kitchen

The 51st Street Kitchen aims to provide a community asset that promotes Food Equity. Repurposing Parkman School and the surrounding community into a food hub will give multi-generational access to fresh groceries, education on urban farming and healthy cooking, and training for future job opportunities.
The establishment of the 51st Street Kitchen will also catalyze controlled re-densification of the community along the Princeton Avenue artery, taking advantage of the existing city infrastructure and the prevalent communal drive to bring people together around a central community asset. Our food-related program follows a consistent material pallet, glass. Transparency allows the programs to shine through the structure of the school buildings and illuminate a new path of food as it travels through the 51st Street Kitchen proposal.
