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?

They used to e more cut off from other rooms, but parents want to be able to see kids playing or doing homework while cooking, hosts don’t want to be away from party when entertaining, everybody ends up congregating in kitchen so often anyway that many people prefer the kitchen to be open to living areas.
