The Right Way to Remove Walls
An open-concept kitchen remodel requires more than taking down walls—it’s about designing a safe, visually cohesive, and structurally sound space.
Structural planning
- Identify load-bearing walls and create engineered solutions with beams or hidden supports.
- Ensure roof, ceiling, and floor systems are integrated into the new design.
Systems coordination
- Relocate plumbing lines, electrical wiring, and HVAC ducts with precision.
- Upgrade lighting plans with task, accent, and ambient layers.
Layout optimization
- Define zones for cooking, dining, and gathering while keeping traffic flowing smoothly.
- Design an island that balances seating, prep space, and storage.
Aesthetic integration
- Select finishes that unify the kitchen with adjacent living spaces.
- Use materials that suit both Tempe’s modern builds and its mid-century or historic homes.
Features Our Tempe Clients Love
- Statement islands: Ideal for casual breakfasts, homework sessions, or cocktail prep.
- Chef-ready appliances: Gas ranges, steam ovens, and wine refrigerators.
