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?

Traveled abroad and I think open kitchen may be an American thing. Some kitchens in London, for example, are closed off, which is perfect because cooking smells don’t stink up the entire house.
