I would go a step further and argue that western kitchens are built incorrectly and should be outside of the living areas and in fact outside of the building itself. My wife and I typically cook outside only using an outdoor kitchen. It is impossible to properly vent cooking pollutants from a house. You would end up having to use a commercial vent hood and with that most likely design a makeup air system to prevent a vacuum inside of the house, not worth it imo.
Induction is awesome but does have its limitations. I think it would be pretty hard to replicate wok style cooking with induction, you want not only the bottom but the sides to get hot as well. My own experience most 30+ asian households would prefer to cook on gas, younger generations just eat out and do not care. High temp searing on induction can cause premature failure in the unit. Have seen it happen across the spectrum of prices, there is just too much heat going into the induction unit. With that said, induction is indeed awesome.
If I did not have access to an outdoor kitchen I would prefer the style of a Chinese apartment kitchen. I am sure it can vary but most/all of the chinese apartments I have seen have a kitchen setup in such a way that it can be isolated from the rest of the unit. When cooking you can slide the glass doors closed, open the window and turn on the vent hood. Almost like being outside.
