Flerkjøkkenoppsett

Flerkjøkkenoppsett, a Norwegian term, translates to "multi-kitchen setup" and refers to a dwelling or building that contains multiple independent kitchens. This arrangement is not to be confused with a single kitchen that has multiple appliances or workstations. Instead, each flerkjøkkenoppsett signifies a distinct, self-contained cooking and food preparation area, typically with its own appliances, cabinetry, and often a separate dining space.

Such setups are most commonly found in multi-generational homes where different family units reside together but maintain separate living spaces, including kitchens. This allows for individual meal preparation and dining preferences without interfering with other household members. Another common context is in rental properties, particularly those designed for extended stays or shared living situations, where each tenant or small group of tenants has their own dedicated kitchen facility.

The concept prioritizes privacy and autonomy within a shared living environment. It addresses the practical need for independent food management while allowing for communal living arrangements. While not a widespread architectural standard in all regions, the flerkjøkkenoppsett is a practical solution for specific housing needs and social structures prevalent in certain communities. The design emphasizes functionality and the separation of culinary activities.
