Adapting the floor plan in existing buildings offers an opportunity to create more living space without physically adding on. By opening up or combining small, nested rooms, owners can often open up unused space reserves. This is particularly advantageous when external extensions are limited by building regulations or listed buildings.
The trend towards more open-plan living areas that combine the living room, dining area and kitchen can be seen in both new builds and the modernization of older properties. By removing unnecessary walls and converting small alcoves and chambers into larger, connected rooms, a more spacious feel can be created. This type of floor plan change also makes it possible to combine two small apartments into one larger one.
Restructuring work, such as removing walls or opening up ceilings, must always be carried out in consideration of the building's structural integrity. Such structural interventions should never be carried out without the expertise of an architect or structural engineer so as not to jeopardize the structural integrity of the building. Particularly in the case of older properties, the specific structural conditions must be taken into account in order to implement modern living concepts safely and effectively.
