why do eastern euros compartmentalize their apartments so much? It's not an old commie thing, they still build new buildings like this. In Canada, the kitchen is almost always open to the living/TV room, creating one big open space.

"open spaces" in housing are modern consoooooooomer fad enabled only by the fact that firsties do not cook at home, preferring to buy takeout and the prelavence of air conditioning, none of which exists here.

i wouldn't take an angloid flag pov when it comes to housing

/thread
imagine the smell

You can set up effective loopholes.

Flats are overpriced 500% as is
Making something like that would drive the price even higher

nobody who actually uses their kitchen likes muh open space kitchens

i dont get it. whats bad about cooking in an open kitchen?

its better for entertaining. you can cook while hanging out

less walls and hallway space would make things cheaper?

Damn bro, you got a 3 bedroom apartment? Are you rich, married, or in the middle of nowhere? It looks nice.

>sauna

is that a joke

>sauna

why are Finns not normal?

are apartments heated by room in eastern europe? in my apartment we have those panel heaters in each room set by their own thermostat
if so, having enclosed spaces would make a lot of sense and heating would be a lot cheaper - only heat the rooms and spaces you intend to use at the time

Rich no, married practically, in the middle of nowhere kinda.
It's not uncommon to have a sauna in your apartment, even if you don't pretty much every apartment complex has a communal sauna.

When you cook, you don't want the smell of cooked meat in your living room.

> you can cook while hanging out

We simply don't do this in Europe, Zhang.

Its more common to have sauna in your home than not. I had studio apartment with sauna

>In Canada, the kitchen is almost always open to the living/TV room,

In Canada your houses are 5x as big as here so you can afford to waste your space for creating just huge living rooms. Here apartments are small and space must be used efficiently.

Here devs also went for the open kitchen meme because it's cheaper for them but most people build the wall between the living room and kitchen later anyway.

this is how it should look like. except sauna because we're not used to that

but open kitchen/living is a more efficient use of space. its one less wall and less useless hallways

Fuck I want a sauna

we do over here. don't speak for all of europe

why do you have to go through 2 doors to get into the place?

>In Canada, the kitchen is almost always open to the living/TV room
I hate this tbqh, can't cook without the rest of the house smelling at food

Meanwhile in britain

I don't know the English word but the front door leads directly to the outside so you will want some insulation from the cold. Also that little hallway has tiles so you don't have to worry so much about your wet clothes/shoes. The rest of the apartment has an oak floor.

I meant eastern Europe because that's what OP asked about
