Ways to visually enlarge a beautiful single story house

Not all spaces had the opportunity to make additional windows, doors, equip openings or get rid of extra walls. Whenever possible, the architects removed partitions, creating open spaces with separate zones in a single story house. A striking example of such a solution is the kitchen with a dining table separating the cooking area from the open living room.
