Explanation of the hype

We are also getting a second sink in the island.... And I’m almost more excited about the kitchen than the rest of the house [emoji16]

just because I want to put drinks directly from the car into the house once a month? After all, that's what God created men for!

And then he created someone to clean the floor-to-ceiling windows *LOL*

But that seems to be a must for some: everything floor-to-ceiling and then suddenly people can look inside -

But then 2 m fence height, so that no one can steal the cream from the cake with their looks. Whether this is just inconsistency or already dialectics, probably only philosophers know.

What I haven’t quite understood yet and keep seeing lately: What is a backup kitchen?

That is probably a logical consequence of the show kitchen trend, that the non-photogenic part is separated. From the living room you see the microwave and pizza-ordering kitchen, the cooking kitchen is then behind it.

I feel the same way about both

What do you need a second sink for?

I don't know either. But what strikes me is that apparently it's the men here who are into it. The women, including myself, can do without the quirk. Cooking is my hobby, which I practice almost daily.

In our homes (where there is no terrace on the main floors) often only narrow floor-to-ceiling windows are installed. In my opinion, if these windows are half-closed by pleated blinds, they produce less light than, for example, a double-wing window.

Well, that’s not surprising. More transparent surface, more light. I find that hardly surprising. Comparing apples to oranges makes fruit salad, which is healthy and tasty, but doesn’t help here [emoji4] If it’s about the case you described: narrow floor-to-ceiling or significantly wider window with a parapet, I’m completely with you. In my home, the floor-to-ceiling elements are at least 1.01 m wide, 2.56 m high, and the rooms are large enough to have placement areas. In the bedroom and dressing room, our architects planned windows with a parapet, which makes sense for us. The choice also depends in my opinion on the local conditions, so it’s hard to generalize, I think. A bedroom facing a park-like garden without visibility from outside: I would find floor-to-ceiling, wide windows very nice because of the view, or conversely, windows with parapets are not ideal.
