Open-plan kitchen layout:
A modern kitchen is not just a hub of culinary activities, but multiple activities including socializing.

The kitchen has become the heart of the home, where you even host parties.
An open-plan kitchen layout serves such luxury modern kitchens best by merging kitchen with the living/dining area. It lifts the barriers that separate the kitchen from the rest of the house, allowing the family, and the guests to enter the kitchen as interaction with you as you cook. Such seamless integration of areas also saves space, and lets natural light illuminate the kitchen area.
