BELLA ANIMA Our Clients wanted space for entertainment as well as congregating for family casual meals. We were looking at a space that had several choppy rooms and one dramatic staircase that was hidden behind a very tight wall. The challenge was to incorporate the curving staircase with the design so that it looked like it was part of the open concept living area. In order to make use of the space we had to use a beam to open up the area. To incorporate the circular staircase, we made a semi circle dining area and we brought the countertop down to a dining height and changed the material type to a wood. We were so pleased to be able to give them the eclectic look that they loved, a mix of several materials, and a working area that exceeded their expectations.
