Our client contacted us after purchasing a charming, fixer upper apartment and wanted to retain as much of the original character and still make it useful as he needed. Working closely with a designer, ideas and creativity gave way to a very unique space.

Continuing with the effort to give a lounge feel, we made built in banquets, benches and bookcases extending around the common rooms to give people freedom to camp out and feel relaxed in any area.
The viewing room wall needed reworking to accommodate the TV and entertainment equipment. The extra kitchen doorway was closed off for another built in.

More built in's for viewing.
Converting an unused doorway to a small bar further pushed the coziness of this place.
The bedroom wall that was adjacent to the office study was given a secret hidden closet door.

The antique kitchen sink was kept and a new shelf put above in the same, simple style.
Even the original cabinets were kept and refinished.
A custom corner counter with the inherited stove completed the kitchen.
