Creating an open space for extensive entertaining required removing the supporting wall between the kitchen and dining room. Discovering significant issues relating to structural elements, once established and resolved the possibilities became endless.
The removal of a load bearing wall that also was found to have plumbing and heating vents required the relocation of the plumbing and an additional support beam wider than originally thought. The bulkhead required creative ideas to lessen the impact. The clients entertain extensively and wanted separate areas for preparation and serving. The eating area had railings that needed to be addressed.
