Back from a 6-year stay in Alaska, Beth, Patrick, and their four children had become accustomed to open space and have outgrown their segmented floor plan. Host Chip Wade and design crew want to give Beth a great room where she can oversee the kids from her kitchen, “the command center.” All partition walls were removed within the living space, which required structural modifications. Level One tackled the most substantial beam they’d ever worked with before. The kitchen is repositioned to face both the living room and the study. A custom fire pizza oven has walls flanked with reclaimed wood from an old barn to give it a sense of warmth and history.
