novi, American kitchen is the open concept, when there is no a full wall between a kitchen and dining room.. kind of a kitchen is NOT a separate room, but rather a part of the hall, but a nice, fully equipped part. Since it will be visible from the dining room, they insert all the appliances into the cabinets... when done right, it looks beautiful...
in qatari way, they put some ugly sink and dirty fridge in the corner of the hall..
