Before you tear down a wall to start your kitchen to the dining or living area, you must determine if it’s holding up part of your ceiling. When it’s, you’ll have to install a header column and one or more articles in its place to provide the required structural support. Your contractor or architect can confirm whether the wall is load bearing and help you sort through the alternatives for post dimensions and placement.
Adding a brand new support system into your plan presents some design challenges, but it may also be a practical design component.

Within this open and spacious residence, the ceiling adds architectural interest, defines the kitchen area and makes it seem cozy. The timber poles add heat when encouraging the ceiling.

At least two walls were eliminated, and numerous articles were strategically placed to specify the kitchen, dining and entry-hall regions within this undertaking.

Posts do not have to move from floor to ceiling. These rest on a tight wall dividing the kitchen and living area.

These tree-trunk articles are just two of a pair of six that support an office loft above a dining area. Harvested onsite, the oak tree trunks were stripped, polished and integrated into the arrangement.

The articles in this kitchen connect to a beam and a coffered ceiling. Notice how they line up with the cross beams and frame the stove.

One post feels airy and light against a breakfast counter.

This post is interesting because the island was constructed around it.
