Modern Duplex Apartment Gut Renovation - Fort Lee, NJ

Our design intent for this modern apartment gut renovation was to create not just an open floor plan, but a spatial experience rooted in a light. To achieve the balance of the industrial and minimalist aesthetic, we incorporated steel plate shelves and exposed the concrete structure. Vistas of the monochromatic color scheme are highlighted by accent trims to create planes of visual texture and light. Throughout the home, layered whites and minimalist forms beckon.

Breathing new life into a 1920s classic! This modest budget project focuses on maximizing natural light and creating a seamless flow between spaces.  Collaborating closely with a skilled artist/painter, we're transforming this home into a bright and welcoming retreat.  Lighter finishes are complemented by striking dark accent tiles, adding depth and character.  In the efficiently designed kitchen, reflective cabinets enhance the sense of openness and amplify the natural light. The result is a beautifully updated home that honors its history while embracing a modern aesthetic.

Beyond Function Kitchen

THE ESSENCE – We believe that essential part of creating a usable friendly space small or large. Is the ability to move and use the space in a most natural way – space as a second nature.

Our attempt is to develop a fabric that will enrich the experience of the interior space, tie function and design elements together to create a sculptural/machine like object that will activated the space and define the nuances of space and time
10’x4’ double sided working island placed parallel to the house exterior wall, cooking activity benefits from new large glass door facing the outdoor, over head floating ceiling with recessed lighting spans across kitchen space to reach the dining table and support pendent lighting fixture.

Materials – Design makes use of LED lighting fixture through-out the project, veneered Apple-ply with exposed edges for the floating ceiling, porcelain floor tiles, galvanized steel plate shelves and IKEA cabinets with quartz surface counter top

Material, form and light come together as one cohesive language creating a narrative staring at the kitchen counter via the dining space to the outdoor deck.

The goal is to create a bright, open floor plan that encourages effortless flow between spaces.

Modern Brooklyn Apartment Remodel

Our approach was to reorganize key apartment spaces, in order to re-energize,  strengthen the flow between them and the apartment as a whole. 
Kitchen space was relocated from its current area to a location across from living space. The newly create space allowed for a more natural flow between living space and the open kitchen. Both enjoined natural light and city views. 

Special attention was given to the illumination of the living space. Thought process was revolving around the idea of theatrical scenes. Pendant lighting as main source of illumination while multi place cove LED light was to wall wash the surrounding walls, all are separately control and dimmable.
