I really liked the older home and apt I lived in as a kid that had a distinct kitchen. It could get messy and then cleaned all in one go when convenient. With a kitchen in view of an entire floor you want to keep it tidy at all times. It made much more sense to eat right after cooking and then clean at 8PM while watching something on TV. I also helped my mom aunt and grandma cook, certainly three-four people fit.
- c22 7y agoI've seen some open floorplan designs where the kitchen was still the focal point, but all the functional areas could be hidden, usually by some large sliding feature. This, I think, is the best of both worlds. You can cook and eat in the open kitchen then pile everything in the sink and slide it shut till you're ready to deal with it later.
