5/5 · Google reviewsWhen does an open-plan kitchen make sense?
- Closed kitchen with no daylight
- You cook cut off from everyone
- A hallway eating up space
- No room for a family dining table
What opening up the kitchen includes
-
Wall assessment
We check whether it is load-bearing and, if so, an engineer specifies the beam or support.
-
Removal and making good
We take the wall down and repair ceiling and walls with no trace of the old partition.
-
Island or peninsula
A worktop or breakfast bar that defines each zone without closing the space.
-
Continuous flooring
The same floor in the kitchen and living room, level and without steps.
-
Effective extraction
A hood ducted outside so cooking smells stay out of the living area.
-
Zoned lighting
Separate circuits for kitchen, bar and living room, with spotlights and pendants.
Open-plan kitchens in Horta-Guinardó: what we check
In 1960s and 70s flats in areas such as El Baix Guinardó, El Guinardó and Can Baró the closed kitchen usually faces the light well and the living room faces the street. Opening it up brings daylight from the front to the worktop, and the gallery can stay as a utility area behind a sliding door.
In the kitchens we open up in areas such as El Carmel and La Teixonera we rebuild the strip where the old wall stood across ceiling, walls and floor, so no trace of the former division is left.
Over 20 years of opening up kitchens: a quote broken down by item, the rest of the home protected during the work and everything clean at the end. We also work in the surrounding areas: Gràcia, Nou Barris and Sant Andreu.

Frequently asked questions
01Open-plan kitchen renovation in Horta-Guinardó: which areas do you cover?
We work in Horta-Guinardó in areas such as El Baix Guinardó, El Guinardó, Can Baró, El Carmel, La Teixonera, Horta, La Clota and La Font d'en Fargues, and also nearby: Gràcia, Nou Barris and Sant Andreu.
02How do I know if the kitchen wall is load-bearing?
We check during the visit: joist direction, wall thickness and plans, if there are any. If there is any doubt, an engineer assesses it before anything is touched.
03Won't cooking smells reach the living room?
Not with a properly sized hood ducted outside. We choose it for the volume of the open space and centre it over the hob.
04Can the existing living-room floor be kept?
If it is in good condition and at the same level, yes: we fill the strip left by the wall with matching or similar tiles. If none are available, we suggest a new continuous floor.
