[Acting Like Godot]

Ahh, the dry kitchen is for the non-messy stuff. It's the place where you keep the clean dishes, the canned food, the microwave, the wines, the bread and the coffee (and you can have a nice breakfast here in the mornings).

The wet kitchen is where the heavy-duty cooking and washing happens. This is where you chop the meat & vegetables; do the stir-frying; wash the dishes; sort out your groceries when you come back from the market with a bagful of wet fish etc. Here, things can get oily, wet, dirty, soap-bubbly.

In this new residential project, the wet kitchen is located semi-outdoors (a sheltered backyard). That way, if you do a lot of cooking, the smell doesn't get into the rest of the house.
