FLOOR PLANS
Minimal structural changes maximized the desired spacious effect in the redo of the 2,000-square-foot condo -- for example, eliminating the wet bar in the dining room and connecting that area directly to the kitchen; replacing a boxed-in staircase with a floating design; and streamlining the master bedroom and its adjoining bath. "Our goal," says designer Lori Dennis, "was to open up the whole space, giving it a loftlike feeling."
