From inside the living area we can see the city views beyond the basin. The back wall of the dining area is, as the client describes it, “a wonderful wax-paneled wall is a unique work of art.”

Mallett

layout design

Bill Daniel Designer

We like the layout for bottom level entertaining. The bar has full service kitchen and ample sitting room. Open to the seating area with a place for large TV. Would like a TV behind bar. Separate areas have different flooring, like tile in bar area, wood near gathering area.

Beyond the front door, suspended reclaimed barn beams creates a rhythm down the gallery. To the left, the open fireplace is repeated outside on the patio. To the right, the end of the gallery becomes part of the master bedroom; the reclaimed barn doors slide across to enclose it.

open concept

Trulinea Architects

This living room has open concept and according to some friends, you feel a bit enclosed when you are inside this living room because it seems a bit cramped. But this space sure has its own individuality.

Wall Residence Family Room

sitting area

Max Crosby Construction

The sitting area of this kitchen looks like its set up for conversation and hanging out. Not sure if there’s a TV in there, but it doesn’t look like it. We love how the small arched hallway breaks up the space and how there’s a cased opening in between the two rooms.

The kitchen was kept open to the living area for easy entertaining. The big island has become the family’s daily gathering place and a go-to spot for special occasions.

contemporary open living room

Travis Knoop

Sunken lounge, great fireplace, asymmetrical layout – three of the characters that this living space has which makes it one of a kind. As they say, “it’s not always hip to be square.” The asymmetrical layout definitely works.

While some people often desire homes that feature individualized rooms and designated work areas, young homeowners are more interested in creating communal spaces where everyone at home can interact freely with one another. Open concept spaces allow individuals to constantly be aware of what’s going on around them, and it also serves to make the overall structure seem more spacious in design.
