The family loved their home but not their kitchen: a dark galley layout cut off from the living room. We removed the dividing wall, re-planned the workflow and built storage around how they cook.
01
The challenge
The wall between kitchen and living room was load-bearing and carried plumbing for the upstairs bathroom.
02
Our solution
An engineered flush beam carried the load, and the upstairs drain was rerouted through a new chase hidden in the pantry wall.
03
The result
Finished in 7 weeks, 3 days ahead of schedule, with the family living at home throughout.
