Cramped Rooms to an Open-Concept Family Hub | Project Village Renovation Feature
The Smartest Way to Turn Cramped Rooms into an Open Family Hub
After ten years of squeezing family dinners into a kitchen that felt two sizes too small, Project Village homeowners, Fraser and Ellie, decided patch‑ups were no longer enough.
Their living room was oversized while the kitchen and dining areas were boxed in. Hosting felt awkward, and keeping eyes on young children meant constant shuffling.
Main Floor for Hosting and Family Life
During the consultation, Step One of Our Process, it became clear that an open-concept floor plan with a spacious kitchen and dining area that flowed into a cozy living room was the solution they were looking for. As a family that loves to host, they found the original layout wasn’t suited for entertaining, often leaving guests crowded into tight, uncomfortable spaces.
We quickly got to work designing a space that preserved the key features and elements from the century home while incorporating new modern elements that matched their design style.
Open Space with Mid‑Century Character
We removed the centre wall between the kitchen, dining, and living rooms to create one continuous view. At the same time, original features such as the open wood partition at the front entry were thoughtfully preserved, offering a subtle nod to the home’s past while blending seamlessly with the new modern design.

Our Signature Process That Makes Renovations Stress Free.
Our Process, is a strict nice step procedure that we follow to keep surprises at bay.
- Listen and Plan – After listening to their needs, we were able to understand areas that needed improvement. We crafted a detailed proposal and sent it to them shortly after.
- Measure and Check – A full‑house laser scan plus a dedicated Trades Day let our electrician, plumber, HVAC, and structural partners spot hidden issues early.
- Design – With all the checks in place, we began on concept sketches, 3‑D renderings, and finish boards that helped turn ideas into clear plans. A plan was set in place, and the next step was to begin building.
- Build – To ease the stress brought on by renovations, we provided our clients with daily updates and weekly Friday emails, allowing us to keep them updated on everything happening in their homes. We were able to complete this renovation ahead of schedule due to our strict planning before starting the build.
- Warranty – After the final walk‑through, our two‑year workmanship warranty began, backing every detail with peace of mind.

Custom cabinetry, warm oak floors, and a large island anchored the new space. Brass accents nod to the mid‑century era, and the layered lighting kept everything bright and welcoming.
