Good morning All,
I am planning on using the open concept design for my kitchen and I noticed its rarely used here in naija, just wondering if it won't look odd if I use it.
Please what's your take on this.
Thanks

Aforxzy:
Here it is.

Gbadexy , Rottech, NEXT & et All,

Please is Stuccor paint the same thing as reflecting paint, Glass paint?? or are they different paints

How much is the cost per square meter for this paint?

i heard the tradition is to give a quotation of the paint and labour per square meter to the client

Can reflecting paint be used on POP ceiling as well?

Thanks all for the knowledge sharing on this

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!

With a frameless glass partition it no longer becomes an open kitchen.

Which other one bros, even the colour centre sef I dey fear.. have you used betek by wichtech?

The glass partition or any other creative divider introduced to break space doesn’t mean it’s no longer an open plan living. It’s just a creative way to redefine your space minus the walls.

Like I shared, I don’t have time to share stuffs I’d have shown lot of great examples from projects done here in Nigeria.

I have an open plan design overlooking a lap pool with about 8m wide glass wall. Because there’s a sliding glass door doesn’t mean it’s not open plan living. I can open all the glass and turn the space into one big space.

Contact @gbadexy to produce paint for you.
I have not seen anyone here, among many, who used his paint and regretted it.
I used it and the Paint is still shinning like new. No flaking as other houses painted after my own, with other type of paints.

My humble submission

Is the partition not an enclosure either transparent or opaque? Or are u saying the divider is dwarf?
What's our definition of open plan then?

Consider
Hygiene
Maintenance
Air movement within your plot.
Privacy.
If you can't take care of all these it may not work out well.
Why not go for island kitchen?

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.

People will try and discourage you but go for it bro, I did and it makes sense. They will say it's not our culture, no privacy, they will have to offer visitors food when they want to eat, the heat will be overwhelming, the smell of food will be everywhere etc but it has turned out well.

1. Plan very well and be particular about where you want every item in the kitchen even during construction.
2. Make room for cross ventilation by adding extra windows to eliminate heat, include an a/c and in my case, heat extractor fans which is efficient and not bogus like the hooded vents.
3. You guys have to be neat people. In my case, madam is obsessed with cleanliness and everywhere is always spotless.
4. Because the kitchen is like a show off, the equipments, pots and furniture must be solid and should ideally compliment the space e.g all the gadgets are black and chrome and some upper cupboards have no doors to arrange plates, pots, flower vases etc.

Best of luck bro.
