n3xt: I know it will work and I have some people with this design too, So its possible to have two kitchens in a residential building like MAIN KITCHEN and SATELLITE KITCHEN 2 in 1 …..: you divide your food cooking systems into two. But my take on it is that when we talk about typical NIGERIA kitchen where real local food will be prepare like EFo riro, Ofe Owerri. Edi nka ikon…. Real pounded yam …..FORGET about fully or partially open kitchen design it won’t work here YES I said so. You can’t compare the way you cook Nigeria food here to the way you cook it in Florida, villa, Nebraska or Ottawa. Abii Iceland or Norway. 4 Likes |

bixton: Smiles. There are kitchens and there’s well planned cooking space. What we have mostly in naija builds is a room with furnitures, cooking wares and sink. A well planned kitchen must satisfy the following space planning requirements during design stage: - cleaning/washing - food preparation - meal cooking/frying - storage - service area Regardless of the design, your kitchen can only be successful when it is organized in a way to optimize performance and efficiency. Your cooking/frying space must be equipped with hood and your design layout must allow for good ventilation. If big restaurants can have open plan kitchen, I don’t see why we can’t have it at home. _________ Unfortunately I don’t have pics but there’s a lovely concept I’ve seen in Oniru. The cooking/frying area of the well-spacious kitchen was at the far end corner of the room. The break-point has a frameless glass partition which protects the smelly odors from getting into the living area. I wish I can do more but I’d try share the layout later here or on kobocity.com ________ Lastly don’t do this if your wife didn’t recommend or approve of it. Don’t do this for a village bae! 1 Like

Abroad you generally do your own cooking and will take reasonable steps to ventilate and not overwhelm your house with the smell of your cooking. In 9ja there is tendency to 1) There is tendency to cook more often in 9ja/abroad most people do one major cook at the weekend(soups and all) and store in the fridge then warm up and maybe make rice or swallow as needed. 2) There is tendency to cook more of our local delicacy with the attendant smell. I used to eat swallow only once a week. There is so much more variety to explore abroad that are quick mild cooks. 3) Helpers will more often put all their cooking on high heat with fast and furious cooking or what my mum calls wa, wa, wo cooking so they can finish cooking quickly 4) Often times the vent is not working or they forget to put it on. Even now with windows they keep leaving almost shut. 5) There is the privacy/security issue with helpers being in close earshot of your conversations. Unless you intend to have 2 kitchens one for all and sundry and another the open plan maybe upstairs for you and your partner it's not really a good fit for the 9ja environment. In 9ja its extremely important to factor in privacy, safety and security issues in almost all of your decisions. . EgunMogaji2: 6 Likes |

n3xt: You are very correct There was a day we delivered goods to site and the customer insists we must take the paints upstair and it was just me and the driver Talking about like 200 drums of emulsion paints I decided to look for two aboki to help us out You can’t believe the aboki is charging me 20k last I was like for what nah but my brother at the end I later up paying them 10k It’s sad this days everybody just need small job big pay. May God help us out. |

Valuepaints20: The aboki’s will still give you some value for your money. Go to almost every major street (I repeat almost every street) in Lagos, there’s always one or more area boys/agberos or land urchins collecting monies for every materials that is moved into the construction site in the area. Those guys are mostly Indian hemp smoking Yorubas agberos. What do you make of that? Suppliers always factor in their cost into every purchases we make. 1 Like |

Aforxzy: I love the staging and presentation of the living room. Very in line with modern living. However, for an open plan concept, the living room is looking too compact and dark from the photo. For an effective open plan concept, there should be a clever use of space from the design stage ab initio. Thought should be given to ventilation not only for cooking but in case of gas leak (health and safety). Mind you, the cooker is in the living room. Or even fire if electric cooker is adopted. Good ventilation is also essential because of the home air conditioning system. Will you be cooking on a hot Sunday afternoon with the extractor on and the A/C on at the same time or use natural ventilation if provided in the design? There must also be natural sunlight flooding in to limit damp. Cooking can generate a lot of steam if not well managed can cause damp and decolour the POP ceiling. So space, ventilation and natural (sun)light are essential in the design of open plan. And don't forget smoke/fire alarm and carbon monoxide alarm. 4 Likes
