Chipping off the tiles started two Mondays ago and then there was Holy Week in between so working days were shortened. Now the second bathroom is practically tile-free and ready for the re-plumbing works to begin. 
It would have been ideal to enlarge the small windows of the kitchen but that would be too dangerous and difficult to do being on the seventh floor overlooking a busy street. 
So the next best thing to do would be to knock down a portion of the wall to let the light from the balcony window seep through. . . . . . 
. . . . shine, making one continuous space and allowing better access from the service to the served areas. 
Originally, I wanted these vertical openings to bring natural light into the bathroom but then I thought not too many people may be comfortable with this sort of arrangement even if sandblasted glass is used to conceal any activity inside.
So I changed the design to these series of squares . . . .
. . . . that echo themselves in other walls.
For the seventies babies out there, this is a close-up of the groovy wallpaper -- eye candy for the home decades ago and eyesore today (or not).
