If your kitchen has access to the balcony, this provides additional opportunities for redevelopment and expansion of space. Such an association gives additional functional and design opportunities to increase the area of the kitchen, improve the heat and sound insulation by warming the loggia , improving the penetration of light. At the same time, the design of a kitchen association with a loggia can be very different.
Options for combining the kitchen and the loggia
First of all, the union itself can be complete or partial. At partial consolidation there is a dismantling of a window and a door on a loggia, and the remained wall-partition is used as a support for a table-top. Whereas with complete unification, together with the window and the door, the entire wall is removed, and the two rooms are combined into one.
It must be said that the second option requires preliminary coordination with the relevant authorities. And if you decide to remove the load-bearing wall, you will not be able to get permission for this. Also, you can not take out the central heating batteries on the loggia. Take into account all these details before starting work.
So, what can you expect, doing the unification of the kitchen and the loggia? The most popular option is the arrangement of the dining area on the former loggia. Such redevelopment helps to solve the problem of a small kitchen where it is impossible to gather all together for a family meal. Useful squares of the loggia will come in handy in this case.
You can also turn a loggia into a mini-cafe or bar, having arranged in the window opening a bar with high chairs. However, you can turn into a bar counter a window sill on the former loggia. In addition to parties, at this table you can spend light breakfasts and buffet snacks.
You can also use the territory of the loggia to locate kitchen appliances and furniture here, freeing the kitchen itself from it, which can now be arranged with great comfort.
