Hello everyone, just want to hear some experiences in regards to kitchen location.
I am planning to build a new house and have narrowed down to two floorplans from a builder.
The first plan has the kitchen on the left side of the house with the range hood installed on the inside of external wall.
The second plan has the kitchen in the middle of the house with the rangehood sharing the same wall with a bedroom, so the bedroom is on the other side of the kitchen, separated by a wall.
I would like to get some opinions and experiences from people who have either of the above, pros and cons?
Would the second plan post any potential fire hazard to the bedroom, say fire during cooking or gas leak?
Would the second plan post any fume issue?
Would the gas pipe be routed differently in both plans?
Also, I think most houses have the exhaust into roof space, do most of you have it upgraded to exhaust to outside? Would it be difficult to achieve for the second plan?
Thank you!
