Transforming a Cramped Layout:
An Open Kitchen Redesign
The project aims to create an open kitchen with an island that flows seamlessly into the living room.
Renovation Strategy:
Expand Kitchen Space: Removed the storage room and pantry to open the kitchen to the living room.
Add Dining Area and Island: Integrated a formal dining area and island into the living space for improved interaction.
Minimize Costs: Adjusted door and window positions while preserving the original shear wall and sink location to reduce plumbing changes.
Optimize Workflow: Established a central pathway between the kitchen and dining area for better efficiency and functionality.
