Modern architecture was a mistake.

>>17670745
So, a fully separated (as in doors) dining room?

>>17670752
no, the room is tiny, just a sink, and a cooktop/oven

>>17670745
Nice homes have always had a waiter's kitchen, if you yourself are cooking there's no point putting you in the slave closet though

>>17670745
>new homes

It always used to be like this, at least at my parents... They also had proper exhaust stuff, not just these shitty carbon filters that go nowhere, it actually led to the outside.

>rent new apartment
>comes without kitchen
>buy cheap kitchen
>time to build the extractor hood
>nowhere in the kitchen to attach it

WHAT THE FUCK IS HE SUPPOSED TO SUCK???? MY CHEAP IKEA CUPBOARD WILL JUST BECOME BROWN AND GREASY

That's not new. Kitchens were like this for hundreds of years.
Open plan homes and showpiece kitchens are an entirely modern trend. Some open kitchens aren't even used, just built for the flex while all the real cooking is done in a second, smaller kitchen hidden away in a closed room.

>>17670765
>rent new apartment
>buy cheap kitchen

Kitchens used to be separated like a garage where you could get shit done. With Modern "open concept" layouts atomized stir fry oil gets into your upholstery.

>>17670802

Why would I buy an expensive one? I'm just here temporarily for work, probably just a few years more. But germans like to move out and take their kitchen and even toilets with them so you need your own.

>>17670812
post kitchen pics

>>17670750
>wtf how can there be a room for cooking?
>it’s not integrated into my entertainment space?
>how are my guests supposed to Instagram what I serve while I pretend to be a celebrity chef?
Motherfucker THAT is modern architecture.
Before “modern” times, “open kitchens” were nothing more than a function of having a 1-2 room house due to poverty or rural living.
>>17670772 is 100% correct.
Look at any post-open-kitchen mansion or yacht.
There will be a “show” kitchen, which is, at most, used by the owner to fuck around and pretend to be able to cook.
And then there is a real kitchen, where the actual cooking takes place, and from which the guests are served.

>>17670827

Here

>cheap plastic icky pvc floor on the kitchen

You can tell modern germans don't cook that much other than boiling some stuff. I'm not hating on them I barely cook either but I find it gross just like brits and their carpet bathrooms.

And yeah there's an opening on the wall I could DIY something but as I said I plan to be here maybe 5 years more at best and I'm single so Ikea it is. I didn't even buy an oven because I still have an air fryer from my old student apartment.

>>17670849

And for clarification: that's all drywall, the "exhaust" leads to the old, real wall. Most modern German houses are just old ones with a slap of drywall and pvc flooring. It doesn't really go anywhere.

>>17670805
The apartment I just moved out of was rather open concept, since cooking is my hobby I use oils and such of course, and cook every night. Thing is, even tho I pointed out to my landlord that lack of a ventilation hood and maybe he should install one, he never did.
I lived there for six years, the entire kitchen ceiling and about ten feet outside the kitchen is sticky with grease.

I hope he had a hard time cleaning that shit up. Cheap bastard.

>>17670849
>no gas
>no oven
you are not a real german

>>17670812
>germans
>take even toilets with them
the memes are true

>>17670878

No I'm not.

>no gas

Most Germans aren't german either then. Most city apartments nowadays are all the same generic white drywall electric-everything shit with the same floor. I worked on the country and they still have real houses but that's a minority nowadays.

>>17670888

Checked. The kitchen I can understand, since unlike in my country they are mostly tenants here and even if rented it's their "home". But I find the toilets a little extreme.
I mean they used to poop on the staircase designated toilets so what's with this capitalistic nonsense.

>>17670802
>being this retarded
Holy fuck shut up before you embarrass other burgers even more.
Apartments being full of appliances as a given is a distinctly American thing.
In plenty of places the world over, you buy/bring your own. If an apartment is furnished with appliances, it will be advertised as such.

>>17670812
>No interest in sex
Can relate

>>17670745
Ive got a new house with an open kitchen layout. There is a hood that actually goes outside and it does a good job with smoke and stink

>>17670905
If capitalism is the reason we no longer have designated shitting stairs, then I will fight to the death to end the spread of communism

>>17670937

I don't like the idea of sharting on the building stairs either, but I'd like to go at least once back in time and poop with my lads and discuss geopolitics or the last fight on the arena, sounds comfy

>>17670945
You can do that in a public toilet. Just chat up anyone who comes in

Had that for as long as I exist. What, you guys actually like onion smell getting imbedded in your furniture? Close the fucking door, problem solved.

>>17670765
>wasps come and live inside your extractor hood

>>17671376
>unlimited free self-replenishing supply of smoked wasps
>sell them at ridiculous “locally made” prices to hipsters at a bullshit urban “farmers market” on weekends, be sure and add “naturally smoked” and “free range” to the label
Pure profit for zero investment. What, exactly, is the problem?

>>17671376
put a screen on it retard

>>17671376
Mine vents through the roof and there is a screen and a cap to keep rain out. Wasps coming through the hood sounds pretty ghetto

>>17670745
The sink must always, and I repeat, always, be in front of a window.

>>17671541
WHY?

>>17671541
You making meth or something?

>>17671550
So you can watch the street for loitering negros.

>>17671550
>>17671566
Beautiful natural light.

>>17671666
Mine is in the island. The whole room has decent light

>>17670911
They are all furnished with appliances and actual furniture in Ireland as a default as well. When I was in the US it seemed like unfurnished renting was the norm. You would get a stove and a fridge but not necessarily anything else

>>17670745
this kitchen sucks balls
>giant yet undivided sink for what purpose?
>too narrow
> W I N E C E L L
>no sink window

>>17670849
i don't hate this one as much somehow
maybe because it looks a lot more poverty so it's not trying as hard?
the cabinet hardware is ultra cancer though and replacing it would be a cheap way to make the place look a million times better

>>17671569
i watch weather, birds, and ships from mine
maybe you should move

>>17670745
Nice place anon. Looks very cute

>>17670849
>Brits
>carpet bathrooms

That's really not common here. I've only seen it once, in the house of a 89 year old woman who hadn't had a man in the house for like, 50 years after her husband died

>>17670945
This is what they took from you.

>>17670752
Modern families do not eat together. Thus the dining room was scrapped. This is all part of the Great Reset.

>>17670840
Damn. I hope you're around next time I attempt a lazy troll.

>>17670750
fuck you, open floor plans suck ass

>>17670913
You need a good dicking

this is weird reno from 25 years ago

>>17670745
It's called "a curry kitchen" and it simply has a good fume hood. In a large family home, frying fish or cooking curries lingers. If you do that kind of cooking on the regular... frying in woks, strong spices in oils...this 2nd kitchen, a duplicate kitchen, is kind of the rich person's estate home solution to park your live-in maid/grandma to cook over there separately, keeping your show kitchen pretty, clean, and free of smells that'll be smelled upstairs in the bedrooms the rest of the time. Think of it as the old butler's pantry and staff kitchen of a not to distant past of the servant based era. A lockable cabinet with silver and fine china, a separate sink and cooking era to keep sauces warm.
If you're a young college student in some dorm, apartment building, you can smell all kinds of smells in the halls and simply hate it. If you work in a kitchen, you can smell frying oil in your hair, your pores, your clothes. It's annoying to some people, as much as clothing that reeks of cigarette smoke. You can face cultural judgement in the workplace if you reek of curry or onions right out of your pores just the same.
Of course if you had a proper high end fume hood installed, you wouldn't need this whatsoever.

>cooking smell will be 100% contained
why would you deprive your house and family of such a wonderful thing?

>>17674089
You sound like a working class chump. I bet you thought it would be a great "investment", how you would wake up to a warm, healthy breakfast to start off your long day. Maybe, you even had a couple thoughts about all the other nifty little uses you could find for the thing, how it would help you cook healthier meals in general, shed a couple pounds off the old gut, boost your confidence around work and with the ladies. Yeah, maybe that slow cooker would start your life cooking again, wouldn't it? I can see your strained hands holding the box and reading through it carefully at the store. A little bit pricey, but you're the type of guy who thinks everything is more than you can spend, aren't you. And look what happened to you. Look what the slow cooker did to you. Fucked you over, and made you clean it like a useless bitch. You don't even fucking like oatmeal. Piece of shit, you've been repeating those three words your whole life, haven't you. Yeah, how was work after that piece of shit fucked you over? I bet it was on your mind the whole day, you probably didn't say shit to nobody. Can't be telling people about your mistakes. How your little fix yourself plan, failed you. Don't want people to start thinking you're the failure. You're the piece of shit, all along. You don't want that do you? You don't want to be the piece of shit everybody secretly whispers about, do you? Was your father a piece of shit like you? I bet he never had a slow cooker. He had a woman, a house, a damn good job. I bet it's slow cooking you the fuck alive, isn't it. Comparing yourself to him. How one day when all the steam runs our of your life, you'll discover how you're nothing more than burnt shit to be scrapped off and thrown in the trash.

>>17670812
I have no idea where you are moving around, but all of my places had kitchens and toilets.

>>17670745
>cooking smell will be 100% contained
what is this weird fucking thing you have, autist?

>>17670812
>he thinks psychology is real and not just hot opinions of drug pushers

>>17674331
psychologists can't prescribe medication

>>17671004
you don't speak in the men's room.
>>17670945
i'm not smelling another dude's shit that isn't my son and only if i'm changing his diaper.

>>17674331
You've never read a book in your life and it shows

>>17674000
>open floor plans suck ass
eat shit, normie.
only open spaces.
nothing worse than a small room.

>>17674340
>psychologists can't prescribe medication
imagine thinking psychiatrists don't do psychology.

>>17674355
you only read fiction and it shows, anon.
you probably think communal shitters were a good idea.

>>17674364
imagine thinking psychiatry is psychology

>>17674357
real talk
open floor plans do suck ass but if you're unfortunate too be such a poorfag that small rooms are a problem then an open floor plan is a necessary evil

>>17674367
The longer I talk to you, the more I find that free speech was also a mistake.

>>17674376
imagine thinking it's not just an extra $35k in debt for the same made up nonsense.
keep digging that hole, anon.
>>17674382
>such a poorfag that small rooms are a problem
no, anon.
i'm just 6', 235 lbs.
small rooms suck.
>>17674384
it's probably because you're too stupid to know your view on life is just wrong.

>>17674396
>no, anon.
>i'm just 6', 235 lbs.
>small rooms suck.
yes, anon
be less of a poorfag so you can afford bigger rooms

>>17674405
i never said i owned small rooms, anon.
i've been other places besides my own residence.
i know this is hard for you to grasp because you're a shut in.

>>17674407
i'm shut in to my vast closed concept rooms
poorfags will never know this feel

>>17674411
>owning rooms instead of land
you sound poor, anon.

>>17674433
my vast rooms are located on vast acreage, actually

>>17674445
nice, anon.
i hope you grow your own food.

>>17674487
yeah it's a work in process
not fully self sustained yet but growing food and allies in the neighborhood

>>17670745
I just moved to a new house and for whatever unknown reason there is a gas stove, but not a gas oven, instead an electric one. I just don't understand how they designs new homes

>>17670745
What garbage are you eating that you wouldn't want to smell it cooking throughout your house?

>>17670745
thats not how its normally done? Why the heck would you have the kitchen not in a separate room if you have the space?

>>17674558
>gas stove, but not a gas oven, instead an electric one
for some reason reddit thinks duel fuel is better

>>17674853
Electric is a drier heat I think people prefer it because it makes things crispier than gas. But if I want something crispy I'll just run it under the broiler at the end.

>>17673888
Yeah don't know where this idea came from. My gran had a carpeted bathroom, literally the only time I've ever seen it and that was 30 years ago.

>>17674582
Walls take up space.

>>17670812
So schizoid personality disorder is just clinical depression? Psychology is retarded.

>>17670745
based I hate my parents cooking smell so I won’t need to smell it anymore.

>>17675705
How is it the same? A depressed person would crave to be around others. A schizoid wouldn’t care about others company.

>>17670745
>no oven

this """"kitchen"""" is nothing more than a glorified water closet
