For more than half my design career I designed mini-mansions, with an abundance of space. Today I’m challenged with designing small spaces. Now that being said, “I just love a challenge.” I would have to say at least one out of three spaces I design today involves taking a wall down. More often than not, it’s in the kitchen. You would be amazed at the difference it makes. Create a counter or just a pass through. Depending on the space it can be grand or modest. The construction involved in doing this is not extensive.
