Mequon Open Concept Kitchen Remodel

This open concept remodel was for a family who was sick and tired of their compartmentalized first floor plan. A structural wall was removed between the kitchen and living room, along with soffits and other obtrusive cabinetry. A new oversized island commands a presence while being decorative and functional. It conceals HVAC runs and one plumbing waste pipe within the columns. The homeowner can now work in the kitchen while their child is doing homework on the island at the same time. Guests flock around the island and enjoy the improved traffic flow from room to room.
