I would suggest thermally broken aluminum windows, thin profile, with a sleek modern look. Email me the rest of the plans and I can work on getting you a price. david@fenstermann.com

thanks for the great suggestions! Will speak to the archi. to check if the bars can be reduced in numbers.One suggestion from his end was to cover these bars by using cement fibre sheets that have the look n feel of wooden texture but I am not sure of the end result.Any other material that can be used to enhance the look?

Ideas and strategies that might work without seeing pictures: 1) Could you envisage two living areas with back to back sofas? 2) two sofas with two arm chairs in the middle (you can turn these when you have more than 4 guests) 3) If it is big enough, turn one part into a library reading area but still part of the room (books add great visual interest)

The butterfly drawers would be sturdy enough for grains and cans. I would just make sure the drawer glides are able to hold the weight. I usually look for Blum hinges and glides, they've usually held the best for prior projects. Lazy susans are usually what I love to use for corner storage. However Lazy Susans with a center pole usually cut down on storage space and can be cumbersome when trying to get items in and out. I love the ones that are mounted to a fixed shelf with no center pole. If something falls off it's just like reaching in the back of the cabinet shelf. Plus with the fixed shelf your able to store heavier items like mixers, pots and pan. Magic Corners I find to be awkward when trying to store items, and most you can usually just fit smaller items in the compartments. And the one complaint I get from them is that the glides get sticky over time. If your still wondering what options to go with, find a local kitchen showroom and try them out. Open all the options your looking at and see what fits your lifestyle and habits.
