Condo Renovation in Midtown Manhattan
11 E 36th St, NYC, NYBefore & After
Living in Midtown Manhattan offers the perfect blend of work and play. Here, you feel the energy of the bustling corporate world, while iconic landmarks like Times Square, the Empire State Building, and Rockefeller Center are just steps away, drawing excited tourists to the neighborhood. Entertainment is always within reach, with Broadway theaters, shopping areas, and exceptional dining just around the corner. The pace is fast, and the excitement never stops.
But after the high energy of the day, a Midtown resident deserves a peaceful retreat to unwind. That’s why a home that offers comfort is key to making city living both enjoyable and sustainable. For our client, this meant renovating two bathrooms and installing fresh new flooring in his apartment.
The master bathroom was completely reimagined with luxurious finishes and sophisticated design elements. The goal was to create a serene atmosphere, where every detail—from fixtures to tiles to lighting flows seamlessly together. Key features include Bianco Bello marble wall tiles, selected for their timeless elegance and high-end appeal. Arabescato Doro marble mosaic tiles were used for both the shower walls and floor, creating a refined contrast to the Bianco Bello marble and accentuating the design variations.
A custom Saur double vanity with engineered stone provides ample storage while maintaining a sleek, modern look that complements the marble. Linear tube vanity lights from Shade of Light were installed to provide bright, even illumination, enhancing both functionality and style. Two metal dovetail mirrors, with their minimalist yet sophisticated design, perfectly frame the vanity area. A 20-inch Verdera medicine cabinet adds practical storage and a built-in lighted mirror for added convenience.
As for the second bathroom, the goal was a clean look, a bit different visually compared to the master bathroom, with incorporating materials that offer a bright feel while also standing out. We used Bianco Dolomiti dolomite mosaic tiles, chosen for their soft white and gray hues, creating a fresh and inviting atmosphere for the bathroom. Bianco Dolomiti Select tiles were installed on the walls, offering a subtle, elegant pattern that complements the overall aesthetic of the space. Chevron Bianco Dolomiti tiles in the shower area add a modern geometric touch.
The 24-inch Belleair vanity was chosen for its compact design and elegant style, perfect for maximizing space while offering a sleek modern look. A Rim 24” medicine cabinet was installed, offering integrated lighting and a mirrored finish that contributes to the functional yet stylish design of the bathroom.
All plumbing fixtures were selected from Rejuvenation in polished chrome, ensuring high quality and a sophisticated, modern finish.
To complete the project, the apartment received a new flooring installation featuring white oak hardwood sourced from North America. The white oak flooring extends throughout the living spaces, unifying the entire apartment and offering durability and a timeless look.
Having a peaceful retreat is essential to balance the fast-paced lifestyle in Midtown Manhattan. By reimagining two bathrooms and installing new flooring, our client transformed their apartment into a serene sanctuary. With luxurious materials, well-planned design, and a focus on both style and functionality, this renovation captures the essence of modern city living: where comfort and sophistication coexist seamlessly.
