With that green colour, oven placement would be very much a secondary concern.
Thank you for saying exactly what I was thinking. If they painted it and changed those ugly ass cupboards it wouldn’t be a bad kitchen.
I must be weird. I kinda like it. It keeps the grease and heat away from the rest of the prep space.
Also lets them have a little breakfast area as well.
Seems like the most efficient use of space to me.
It looks like a good use of space if you have never really used a kitchen before. Very difficult to use in any real world cooking scenario.
There should be laws stopping people who don’t use kitchens from designing them. I see so many terrible choices like this.
Oh fucking please.
The sink situation is easily solved with either filling up that kettle, or using a stock pot. The fridge being out of frame means you’re not having to go around the partial island.
This is a nice utilization of an awkward space. The stove placement means you don’t have to teach young and/or stupid housemates ‘hot behind’ because there’s space for both mis en place and to set a hot dish, in a way that doesn’t mean someone has to scooch behind you and bumping butts.
This is far from the worst design this room layout could have and is actually pretty damn smart given the layout.
Placement of the oven does not concern me, what does and always do, is that pathetic exhaust fan above it, which may or may not be connected to the outside by a duct, but in either situation, it’s a low quality system that does not even remove 50% of the cooking aroma, it’s like no one has ever figured out how to make one for home use that is effective and not sound like a jet engine. I’ve seen $2 million dollar condos that have that problem.
Ok it’s not just me. The one in my house clearly had a duct but the previous owners removed it. Now the range hood exhausts out the front directly into your face.
I’ve lived in a couple of apartments in Norway where they had a genius solution to the problems you mention (except the jet engine sound): it sends all odours to your NEIGHBOURS who have their kitchen right above or below yours 😎
(warning:it works both ways. So if your neighbours are cooking you better turn it on, and you better set it to superjet mode, because the strongest decides where the odours go.)
I love to imagine the excitement of these listing agents when they see a spike in views hahah
This house is pretty cute (and priced within reach!), but that kitchen would annoy me…https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2429-Woodley-Rd-Montgomery-AL-36111/72810736_zpid/
