The owners wanted an enlarged kitchen with an open configuration and step-saving efficient floorplan. The plan called for an architecturally sympathetic 12’ X 10’ breakfast room addition with a south facing bay window that would seamlessly integrate into the existing elevation. Throughout the project, challenges turned into opportunities. The need to eliminate a bearing wall between the dining room and kitchen inspired the use of three wooden posts as vertical support shafts for a pair of load bearing microlam beams installed flush to the ceiling. The posts were turned into Doric columns and form an arch that lends formality to the space while creating an ambiance appropriate for the owner’s antiques, oriental carpets and other fine furnishings.
