open kitchen
Wallless cooking area
An open kitchen is a kitchen that shares space with an adjacent living or dining area rather than being enclosed by walls.
The layout became popular in residential design for creating a sense of spaciousness and allowing cooks to interact with guests: We renovated to create an open kitchen.
In restaurants, an open kitchen lets diners watch their food being prepared, suggesting transparency and theatrical presentation.
