Open-plan kitchen renovation in Sant Andreu.
We join kitchen and living room in Sant Andreu into one brighter space, with a breakfast bar or island to gather round and flooring that runs through without a break.
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.
From closed kitchen to open-plan living
In early 20th-century buildings in areas such as Sant Andreu and La Trinitat Vella the wall between kitchen and dining room may be load-bearing or carry timber joists. We check on the visit and, if it is structural, an engineer specifies the beam before anything is opened.
In open kitchens in areas such as La Sagrera, Navas and El Congrés i els Indians we split the lighting into circuits for the prep area, the bar and the living room: downlights over the worktop, pendants over the island and separate dimming for each zone.
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: Nou Barris, Horta-Guinardó and Sant Martí.

We work in Sant Andreu in areas such as Sant Andreu, La Trinitat Vella, La Sagrera, Navas, El Congrés i els Indians, El Bon Pastor and Baró de Viver, and also nearby: Nou Barris, Horta-Guinardó and Sant Martí.
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.
