Solution:
Some preliminary exploration was done to allow us along with our design, engineering and subcontract partners to get a better idea of the existing conditions. With that information and working with the owner to honor his desired budget we created the final plan. In this layout we were able to achieve the open kitchen by removing a portion of the existing wall up to an electrical riser feeding the units above in the wall. Due to the fact that this was a load bearing wall we inserted a corner post and beam to support the existing loads. The result was an open and updated living space that includes the kitchen into the rest of the living/entertaining spaces and takes advantage of the premier views.
