Upper East Side co-op apartment renovation with modern and warm design

Co-Op Apartment Renovation In Upper East Side

325 East 80th Street, NYC, NY

Before & After

For this Upper East Side renovation, we transformed the apartment from a dated, two-bedroom, one-bathroom unit to a lux two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence. The design scheme is modern and warm with sophisticated and traditional touches.

In the dining room, we designed a custom dry bar with glass cabinets and soft under cabinet lighting. This piece makes perfect use of otherwise under-utilized space. Maximizing efficiency is a goal of every renovation.

The flooring in this apartment was redone with engineered hardwood planks. We chose a medium brown oak throughout the apartment. This hue is fresh without being too modern, which is in line with the overall approach to the design.

We removed the wall between the kitchen and dining room to join the spaces. With this updated configuration, we enlarged the kitchen and created an open concept, while maintaining separation from the living and private spaces.

The kitchen design features entirely custom cabinetry in a dark teal satin finish. The heights were customized to extend to the ceiling to maximize storage. Each detail of the kitchen was carefully selected including the burnished brass pulls that give character and a hint of vintage style to the design.

One of the main features of the renovation is the repurposed space of two oversized closets into a guest bath. We reconfigured the existing bath to open into the primary bedroom, creating a much-desired en-suite.
Custom Italian mosaics were specified for the floors in both baths. They are a combination of Carrara and Thassos marbles with delicate and beautiful flower motifs.
For the primary bathroom, we did a shower conversion, which is preferred in primary suites. The Italian mosaics were paired with subway and penny round tiles that share the same dark teal hue as the kitchen. A deep espresso wood vanity is a timeless design, and its marble top pairs with the tiles, trims, and shower threshold.
