Phoenix – Open Concept Home Remodeling
In Phoenix, where modern living meets timeless architecture, homeowners are rethinking the way their homes flow — and it often starts by embracing open-concept design. Whether you live in a historic ranch in North Central Phoenix, a mid-century gem in Arcadia, or a growing family home in Ahwatukee, transforming your layout with open concept home remodeling is one of the most powerful ways to elevate both function and style.
At Homework Remodels, we specialize in creating beautifully integrated living spaces by removing barriers — literally and creatively. Through thoughtful design, expert engineering, and seamless craftsmanship, we help Phoenix homeowners unlock the full potential of their homes.
Why Phoenix Homeowners Choose Open Concept Remodeling
Make Everyday Living More Comfortable
Traditional floor plans — especially those from the mid-20th century — often feature segmented rooms, closed-off kitchens, and narrow halls. While cozy in theory, these layouts can feel restrictive in today’s world.
Open concept remodeling allows you to:
- Combine your kitchen, dining, and living spaces into a cohesive environment
- Create better flow for entertaining, parenting, and relaxing
- Foster connection while maintaining smart separation of spaces
- Eliminate dark or underused areas
Whether you’re cooking while helping with homework or hosting a gathering, open concept layouts support modern life beautifully.
Let in the Light and Open the View
Phoenix boasts over 300 sunny days a year, but many older homes don’t take full advantage. Walls often block natural light from spreading throughout the interior. With an open floor plan, you can:
- Improve daylighting across the main living spaces
- Enhance views from front to back of your home
- Create a greater sense of volume and space without adding square footage
What’s Involved in Open Concept Remodeling?
It Starts with Design
Our design-build process begins with a personalized consultation in your Phoenix home. We’ll walk through your current layout and listen to your goals, identifying key opportunities for improved space planning, flow, and openness.
Some of the most common design adjustments include:
- Removing a wall between the kitchen and dining room
- Expanding a small galley kitchen into the adjacent living area
- Connecting the family room and breakfast nook into one great room
- Raising ceilings or adding beams to accentuate space
Removing Walls — Structural and Non-Structural
A key element of open concept remodeling is wall removal. Some walls are simply dividing space — others (load-bearing walls) support your home’s structure. We handle both safely and professionally.
When load-bearing walls are involved, we:
- Collaborate with licensed structural engineers
- Design beam or post systems for proper load transfer
- Secure all city permits
- Install concealed or architectural beams for a seamless look

Open Concept Ideas for Phoenix Homes
No two homes — or families — are alike. That’s why we tailor every open concept renovation to match your home’s architecture and your personal lifestyle. Here are some project types we frequently design in Phoenix:
Kitchen-Centered Open Layouts
The kitchen is the heart of the home, and in many Phoenix homes, it’s surrounded by unnecessary walls. We open it up to create:
- A central island for gathering
- Sightlines into the family room
- Shared prep and serving spaces

Multi-Zone Living Spaces
Open doesn’t mean undefined. We create zones that feel naturally connected but still purposeful:
- Reading nooks near bright windows
- Family gathering areas with cozy lighting
- Integrated work-from-home or study spaces
Open Concepts in Historic and Mid-Century Homes
Many older Phoenix homes — especially in neighborhoods such as Willo, Encanto, and Arcadia — feature historic layouts with numerous small rooms. We remodel these homes with care, honoring their character while opening up the space in smart, respectful ways.

How Much Does Open Concept Remodeling Cost in Phoenix?
The cost of open concept remodeling depends on several factors:

- Scope of kitchen or bathroom updates included
- Finishing materials (flooring, cabinetry, lighting)

Typical investments range from $90,000 to $ 150,000 or more, especially when combining wall removal with kitchen or whole-home remodeling. During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed and transparent estimate that aligns with your goals and budget.
