To transform this previously confined layout, we removed a load-bearing wall that once separated the kitchen from the living room. This structural change created a more open, connected floor plan, allowing natural light to flow uninterrupted from one side of the home to the other. We thoughtfully reconfigured the existing natural wood cabinetry, preserving its warmth and character, while introducing a bespoke center island in a beautiful bonsai green. The result is a balanced and light-filled space that feels both expansive and grounded—ideal for everyday living and effortless entertaining.
