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?

Where cooking is done by a servant or employee, then the kitchen is in fact closed off.
When the cooking is done by a family member they want it to be part of the family and included in family discussion and connected during all the many hours of food preparation.
