	The kitchen functions as a place where food is prepared and eaten, but in many homes the kitchen is also a gathering space for family members and guests who can socialize and catch up on each other's lives in the cozy kitchen atmosphere. When planning a remodeled kitchen design, the style and placement of the kitchen's windows must be carefully considered to allow for adequate ventilation, including cross ventilation, as well as providing lighting to facilitate kitchen work. Equally importantly, the kitchen windows should be planned so that the people inside the kitchen have an opportunity to fully enjoy the outside view.
