This young family wanted a functional, more open space to cook & prep with ease, entertain family & friends, and all the while being able to interact with their two young daughters while they played, studied, and grew.
After working through the initial concepts, we decided on a final plan that included swapping the locations of the dining room & family room, raising a sunken floor, shifting the windows, and enlarging one wall while removing another. This resulted in a large and open space for a singular kitchen/dining area that would solve the spatial issues.
