Kitchens are typically open, connected and viewable from another aspect of a house. I understand that that’s a pro for ventilation however, if a kitchen fire were to start, wouldn’t it be better to have it be in a closed off room that you can just easily shut a door too? For example, if a kitchen was placed in an area that could be used as a bedroom, wouldn’t that be good for stopping the spread of a fire if one were to occur?

We bought a house 15 years ago and it has a designated kitchen. We use the kitchen a lot, this open thing is more for people who don’t cook. A closed kitchen helps keeping the smell inside instead of spreading it throughout the house. If you ever cook fish or similar you know what I mean
And if you don’t eat in the kitchen you don’t show your guests the mess you made and can clean up while they are in the living room. It seems that open kitchen are dominant in the us but not so much in Germany.
