ᐅ Is an open kitchen without an external ventilation system advisable? What are your thoughts?

Hello,
we have a brochure for a top-floor apartment. The kitchen is an open plan design within the living area, but it is located internally, meaning it is not adjacent to an exterior wall. The ceiling is open up to the roof ridge, so there is no (horizontal) ceiling. The developer states that venting to the outside is not possible. Whether this is technically true or not still needs to be clarified.
But assuming this is the case, is it actually feasible to operate an open kitchen effectively with only a recirculating extractor hood? Do you have any specific experience with this? What is the current state of technology?

Please explain that again. I didn’t understand. If you have a mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery and a wood-burning stove, you need a pressure monitor according to our chimney sweep. Even if it is a room-air-independent stove (I have read that this can vary from one chimney professional to another). When you then turn on the exhaust hood, the pressure monitor will trigger an alarm. Unless the mechanical ventilation system is intrinsically safe, then you don’t need a pressure monitor and can operate the exhaust hood without any problems.
