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?

Its all about how styles of houses have changed. When my husband and I were looking for houses we saw all kinds. The older houses had more “rooms” and newer houses had an open floor plan which is more popular right now. Im sure its also much cheaper for a builder to build an open floor plan vs one thats more closed off.
