In kitchen design, why is the window always behind the sink and never behind the stove?
I can understand why you might not want a stove in front of a window that can be opened, but it seems to me that a non-opening window should be fine. Is there typically a building code that prohibits putting a window behind a stove? I’ve always wondered about this.
I, for one, would enjoy looking out the window while I’m cooking.
