Initially retained to complete a feasibility study to investigate the potential of an interior renovation in a clients residence, and followed it with the subsequent design. The design minimized the extent of major construction, while opening up the space by removing three partition wall that had previously separated the kitchen | living | dining areas into four distinct srooms. By removing the wall all three spaces benefit from increased light, and additional visual connections. We harnessed the existing structural layout, adding two exposed fir posts to replace the previous in-wall built up posts. A fritt glass + cherry book shelf separates the entry from the new living room while allowing a visual penetration. The wood flooring remained, just required refinishing. New tiles were brought into the kitchen, and a light contemporary wire railing added.
