This is not a newly conceived space; rather it is a narrative of the change that has happened over time and a snapshot of our current life; we are architects, art enthusiasts and have a two year old daughter. To make space for our needs, the kitchen was opened up with a breakfast table and the dining area was converted into a sitting space with a console and chairs. This space becomes the heart of the house as it provides a place for people to collect and connect during gatherings and also allows our 2 year old to have the much needed space to play around. This also helps break the deep long deep space in the middle by connecting it to the kitchen.
