/ck/ - Food & Cooking

It's called open floor plans, and it's the worst plague to happen to architecture/home design.

Go look up new home designs, plans, etc. Last time I looked I literally could not find a single design that was not an open floor plan (kitchen/dining/living room all together with no divisions). Some of the homes even look like they'd be a traditional 2-story home too, then you look at the floor plans and it's just a big useless open area that doesn't even have a second floor.

And it's not just that everything smells like food, if you try hosting a party or get together, all the loud kitchen noises will disturb people. Then when you're all done eating, you'll have the kitchen mess in sight of everyone unless you want to do the dishes which can also be loud and disrupting. It's just the worst and I don't know how anyone could ever like it so much that they won't stop making this dogshit.

Meanwhile, pic related is an old design from decades ago and it just werks.
