I think this may be the case. I certainly do NOT spend any great 
proportion of time in the kitchen and don't know anyone who does but 
when I am in the kitchen I am more likely to be looking out the window 
and am more welcoming of interruptions than when I am in any other room 
of the house. Perhaps this is where the idea came from.

But I must say I really like our units with the living rooms on the 
back. They are more private and open onto private balconies and 
gardens.
