    How did you hold up the first floor, it appears to be the dropped bulkhead at the rear of this photo- cantilevers or sky hooks?

    Hi VC Design,

    We considered sky hooks with the structural engineer however the little fairies holding the floor above proved difficult to source in time for the project. Then we considered photoshopping the column away. The client insisted this was not an option since he would still see the column every morning when he came down to make breakfast.

    At the end we went back to the engineer who designed some cranked beams and cantilivers above the main kitchen area; spotlights and vent ducts are also accommodated in the bulkhead.

    The engineer also had to design some ground-beams since we reduced the original floor level to increase the headheight in the new kitchen; you might be able to see the step from inside-outside in some of the photos. It was worth it since we did not have the option to raise the ceiling any further and it was important that we could try to create as much internal space as possible within the budget restrictions of course.
