In this project, we began with a split-level that had already been opened up some on the main level by an earlier owner. However, the kitchen was still very tight, and the clients wanted to push the kitchen out into the open living area. Unfortunately, there was still a short, loadbearing wall in the way. By engineering a pair of beams, one spanning 28′, we were able to remove the last loadbearing wall in the middle of the house and create the kitchen they wanted, complete with a big eat-in island.
