Open-concept living continues to be one of the most requested renovations we see at Ironwood Construction. Removing walls to create a flowing space between kitchen, dining, and living areas can transform how you use your home—making it feel bigger, brighter, and more social.

On Prince Edward Island, open-concept layouts are especially popular in homes with scenic views. Large windows and uninterrupted sightlines help bring the outdoors in, making the most of PEI’s natural beauty. But open-concept isn’t for everyone—or every house.

You’ll want to consider:

• Whether your existing structure allows for wall removal (load-bearing walls may need extra support)
• How sound travels in a large open space
• Storage needs that walls may currently provide
• The impact on heating efficiency in older homes

At Ironwood, we help homeowners assess if open-concept living fits their lifestyle and home design. We ensure any structural changes are safe, meet code, and enhance both form and function.
