UES Apartment Renovation in ADA Compliance
530 E 72nd St, NYC, NY:Stylish & Accessible
Before & After
Our latest project took place on the Upper East Side, one of the most upscale neighborhoods in New York. The area features luxurious residential buildings, high-end boutiques, and upscale dining establishments.
When we renovate, we are sensitive to our clients’ specific needs. This client needed their apartment to be ADA compliant which meant total and complete accessibility. To accomplish that, we widened all the doorways and ensured that there were no level changes in the apartment, like there often are between floor finishes. This is one of the reasons we used tiles for flooring throughout the apartment. For the bedrooms, we chose a tile that imitates wood for a cozier look and for the living room, the dining room, and the open kitchen we went with a beautiful white marble tile.
We took down a wall in the kitchen, seamlessly integrating it with the dining room creating an open concept, with plenty of room to move around.
In a commercial setting like restaurants or healthcare facilities, it is easy to accomplish ADA compliance. For them, aesthetics and homeyness are not the focus. When our team was designing this home, we wanted each element to be beautifully integrated into the design scheme.
In the living room, we created a serene and functional space for our client. By the window, overlooking the East River, we installed a beautiful custom-made desk, providing an ideal spot for relaxation after a long day of work.
We redesigned all the closets, incorporating custom shelving that is tailored to meet the specific needs and accessibility requirements of our client.
We transformed the master bathroom into a truly accessible and stylish space. The team installed a curb-less shower, allowing for easy entry and exit. Additionally, we designed and installed a custom vanity and dressing area that meets ADA compliance standards. The black floor tiles harmoniously contrast with the stunning white marble wall tiles, resulting in a perfect blend of accessibility and aesthetics.
At the core of our design and renovation process lies a deep understanding and consideration for our clients’ individual requirements. In the case of this apartment, we prioritized accessibility and created a space that is completely barrier-free. The end result is a beautifully designed apartment that seamlessly combines both accessibility and style.
