Open up a compartmentalized kitchen and adjoining family room into one connected living space suited to how the family actually lives.
A load-bearing wall separated the kitchen from the great room, and the home’s original MEP systems needed a full update to support a modern kitchen layout.
Removing the load-bearing wall required new structural steel support without disrupting the second-floor framing above, all while keeping the home partially livable during construction.
Architectural redesign, structural engineering for the load-bearing wall removal, MEP upgrades, and full renovation construction.
An open-concept layout anchored by a large island, with the new structural steel beam integrated into the ceiling design rather than boxed in as an afterthought.
A phased demolition and construction schedule that isolated dust and noise from the rest of the home, with temporary kitchen facilities arranged for the client throughout the build.
A fully connected kitchen and great room that transformed how the family uses the main floor, completed on the agreed schedule.
