Arcadia Open Concept Remodeling – Space to Breathe, Connect, and Live Well

Open Concept Remodeling in Arcadia – Elevate the Flow of Your Home

Arcadia is a neighborhood where tradition and sophistication meet modern lifestyle needs. With homes ranging from classic ranches to transitional new builds, Arcadia offers elegance, charm, and some of the Valley’s most beloved addresses. But many of these homes were designed in an era that favored closed floor plans, segmented rooms, and underutilized space.

That’s where Homework Remodels comes in.

Our open concept remodeling services help Arcadia homeowners transform their homes for modern living—removing walls, redesigning layouts, and improving the flow between kitchen, living, and dining spaces. Whether you want to create a light-filled great room or blend indoor-outdoor living more naturally, our award-winning design-build team delivers remodeling solutions that reflect how today’s families gather, cook, and connect.

At Homework Remodels, our work in Arcadia reflects a simple priority: create a home that feels better to live in every day—while protecting the character and long-term value of the property.

Why Arcadia Homeowners Choose Open Concept Remodeling

Many homes in Arcadia were built before open floor plans became popular. These homes often feature:

  • Separate formal rooms that limit natural light and social interaction
  • Load-bearing walls between kitchens and family rooms
  • Choppy transitions between interior and exterior living spaces
  • Narrow hallways or underused breakfast nooks that reduce usable square footage

Our clients often tell us they want their homes to feel:

  • Brighter and more spacious
  • More inviting for entertaining and everyday living
  • Connected across common areas
  • Updated while still honoring the home’s character

Our role is to make those goals a reality—without compromising the architectural integrity that makes Arcadia so special.

What’s Involved in an Open Concept Remodel?

Open concept remodeling is more than just knocking down a wall—it requires thoughtful design, structural expertise, and seamless execution. Here’s what we consider:

Structural Planning & Wall Removal

  • Identify load-bearing walls and evaluate roof and ceiling structure
  • Reinforce or replace with properly engineered beams
  • Integrate new beam placement with the ceiling for visual harmony
  • Conceal HVAC, plumbing, or electrical within new framing when needed

Kitchen, Dining & Living Room Integration

  • Create a centralized “hub” for cooking, gathering, and relaxing
  • Design flexible layouts with sightlines from room to room
  • Center the design around key features like kitchen islands or fireplaces

Natural Light & Ceiling Enhancements

  • Add windows, skylights, or clerestory openings to bring in more light
  • Raise ceiling height where possible to increase volume and openness
  • Use soffits or ceiling treatments to subtly define spaces

Flooring Continuity & Flow

  • Replace outdated flooring with one cohesive material throughout
  • Align thresholds and transitions for clean sightlines
  • Consider inlaid patterns or area definitions without disrupting openness

Smart Lighting & Electrical

  • Layered lighting plans to suit open spaces (recessed, pendant, accent)
  • Relocate switches and circuits during layout change
  • Include smart home integration for zones and scenes

A Featured Arcadia Open Concept Transformation

In one of our signature Arcadia renovations, the home had a series of small, boxy rooms—including a galley kitchen closed off from the rest of the house. The client wanted a better connection between the kitchen, living room, and backyard patio.

We removed two interior walls—including a load-bearing section—replaced it with a flush structural beam, and added floor-to-ceiling sliding doors to the rear yard. The kitchen was reoriented with a large island as the centerpiece, surrounded by custom cabinetry and integrated appliances.

The result was a completely reimagined space: bright, open, and perfect for entertaining, while still preserving the home’s classic Arcadia feel with elegant millwork and natural finishes.
