Open Concept Floor Plan - 1980s Home

Typical 1980s floor plan - rooms are closed off, narrow hallway, poor lighting. We like to say that you don't always need more space you just need to use what you have more efficiently. Our client hated having to shout between rooms and every family gathering ended up with guests arriving and bunching up in the narrow hallway to take off their coats. No one would hang out in the living room and everyone ended up just getting in the way in the kitchen (sound familiar?). They needed a plan to open the space, remove the bottleneck and get more light (both natural and artificial). We designed new beams, moved duct work widened the hallway and added a closet to the front office room. In the future the client will be replacing all of the flooring.
