The Maestro originally had a very large entryway with a kitchen tucked away behind it in a separate room. Puzzling over possible floor plans, we realized that there was a great option we hadn&#8217;t initially considered. By utilizing the spacious entryway, we could create an open-plan kitchen and simultaneously create a more convenient design <em>plus<\/em> create space for a second bedroom where the kitchen had previously been located.
