NYC Condo Renovation In Carnegie Hill | 8 East 83rd

PARENTS NEED SPACE

Storage was one of the most important factors in this renovation. With a small child ready to rumble at all hours, our clients knew they were going to have all kinds of stuff taking over their space. At the same time, they wanted a space to host  guests and not see clutter. Our solution was neatly designed opportunities for storage nestled throughout the apartment. 

To start, we created a custom entertainment unit offering storage below with open shelves above. Built-in under the living room window is banquette seating with significant storage beneath. Not only does the dual-purpose nook offer areas to store toys galore, the cozy spot offers beautiful windows with views of the shimmering skyline and rooftop gardens, providing practical peace of mind. Every inch of this renovation was designed with intention, so no space is wasted.

UNIQUE KITCHEN DESIGN

There are various custom elements that make this particular NYC kitchen renovation stand-out. While the majority of the apartment has herringbone wood flooring, determination was made that having herringbone flooring in the kitchen would have been busy on the eye. Instead, we went with straight planks for the kitchen and blended from the living room with a custom wood flooring design. Additionally, there’s wood paneling lining the kitchen, accenting the off-white and chestnut cabinets with a touch of luxe. Finally, the quartz backsplash and countertop offer a nice and seamless touch to the overall modern design of condo kitchen remodel.

FORWARD-THINKING DESIGN FOR CHILDREn  

Our goal with the kid’s bedroom design was to offer a multi-purpose space the child could enjoy and use as needs change over the years. Beyond the playful wallpaper, we provided plenty of timeless built-ins that can be used to store diapers and books early on, while also including a desk space for homework in later years (hopefully).

Complimentary Bathrooms

With the two bathroom remodels in this Manhattan apartment, our goal was to create similar but distinct designs between the two spaces, that still felt unique in their own right and blended with the rest of the home. The wood vanities incorporate the heavy wood tones from other rooms, while the strong accent tiles on the walls and big, bold marble floor tiling create elegant foundations for each space.

Some Highlights

• Natural light drop ceilings offer nice recessed lighting throughout the entire apartment
• New doors & new hardware throughout, w/crystal doorknobs in various areas
• Built-in bar to accommodate guests, complete with lights under cabinet and distressed mirrored backsplash
• Plaster crown molding offering a very clean and classic touch throughout the transitional space
