Adapting Historic Floor Plans for Today
Many Georgian and Tudor homes in East Lake Forest retain original layouts that separate cooking areas from dining spaces. We specialize in modifying these floor plans to create an open concept kitchen that functions for contemporary households. This process frequently requires careful integration of modern infrastructure into historic building envelopes.
