Mullins Family

Concept

Our first challenge was to widen the existing space to accommodate custom cabinetry and various design elements, which the family fell in love with. However widening the space required relocating a lengthy span of a main load bearing wall. Instead of the traditional, costly method of relocating the span, we devised a custom support system utilizing a structural load bearing column which is hidden in a custom pocket created in a void space in the new cabinetry. The concept accomplished saving our clients thousands of dollars, had no impact on aesthetic appeal because the support system was flush with the existing ceiling with no loss of space.
