        "text": "An open-concept remodel removes interior partition walls to merge separate rooms—most commonly the kitchen, dining, and living rooms—into one shared living area. This layout improves sightlines, enhances natural light, and creates a functional layout for entertaining and modern living. During the planning phase, you must evaluate whether the target walls are load-bearing, as structural supports will require engineered beams. You also need to plan how utilities, such as electrical wiring, plumbing, or air ducts hidden inside those partitions, will be rerouted.",
