We wanted to create a wow factor in the dining room and Chris at KPP architects decided that the best way to do that would be to create a double height space by removing the 1st floor. We would then build in a staircase and gallery to the bedrooms which would overlook the dining room. The floor was removed some time ago, but this week the new steels arrived. We had originally decided to leave the original steels in as a temporary measure to help balance the new steels on. However at the last moment we had a sudden moment of sanity and decided just to cut those old steels out and use a lifter to get the new steels in place.

Wow…those steels were not cheap but the opening looks huge. Looking forward to eating in it…
Hi there Ian and Jackie, it’s Chris Jaume here (your old architect from KPP). I have been following your blog while over here in Australia, and I have to say the work on site is looking fantastic and very exciting indeed. I’ll be sure to keep following progress over the coming months. Oh, and that double height dining space is beginning to look super! All the best, Chris
