This client had a load bearing wall separating the kitchen from the family room, which instead of creating definition in the house like intended, limited space immensely and made the house feel like a maze to navigate. Our first order of business was to remove the load bearing wall, whilst leaving a beam (for structural security) that looked like it was meant to be there. Moulding it into the bar area and adding some lights as a pass through was the best way to go. We also enclosed the stairway to add wall space for a television and extra storage.
