East Side Fix
NEW YORK, NY
The Story
THE CHALLENGE: Fix an apartment combination so that a bedroom is not in the entertaining spaces.
THE CLIENT: A professional who understands design wanted to remove the third bedroom from the middle of the entertaining areas to create a quiet bedroom wing. In addition, they needed ample storage for a Kosher kitchen.

THE TRANSFORMATION: We created an open plan entertaining space that takes advantage of the expansive deck, separated it from the bedroom wing with ample coat storage, a working pantry (it has appliances, extra counter space, and a kitchen’s worth of cabinets), and a laundry room! This apartment sold in 1 month in a challenging market at the beginning of COVID.
