Renovation Real Talk – July 2018

CONTEMPORARY  ELEGANCE IN A PREWAR APARTMENT

We renovated this Pre-war apartment on West End Avenue, to accommodate a large family, a lot of entertaining and a recording studio.  We found unused space above the existing ceiling and managed to add 12 inches to the height of the apartment, making the total ceiling height 112 inches, creating a whole new look and feel.

Unique Features of 270 West End Avenue

Floating Shelves:
To illuminate shelves with absolutely no glare, recess the lighting into the shelving.  It creates the perfect backlighting.

Custom Millwork:

We did a lot of custom millwork throughout this apartment. As a unique treatment that makes the room look more spacious, we created floating countertops above all the cabinetry.

Luxury Flooring Refinishing:
All the Pre-war wood floors in the apartment were sanded and refinished in a rich, beautiful dark color.  This helps to hide any imperfections and adds character to the entire apartment.
