Here's the combined kitchen, living room, and dining room. The two wooden living room chairs in the foreground were designed by the students to be the same height as the dining chairs in the background. If extra seats are needed at the table, everyone would sit at the same level. A small detail, but an important one if you have limited room for extra furniture and often have guests.
