This Lower East Side apartment received a full floor to ceiling gut renovation. We opened up the space by removing the wall between the kitchen at the front of the apartment and replacing it with a beamed soffit with track lighting over the custom concrete countertop breakfast bar area. A pocket door from the kitchen to the bathroom provides zero impedance to either room. Custom cabinetry in the kitchen provides all necessary storage with inset painted shaker style doors and drawers with a decorative finish, and high end polished chrome mortised hinges and hardware. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances and a stainless steel apron farm sink with a restaurant style faucet. We modified a stainless steel restaurant cart with wheels to act as a microwave/storage unit/movable island with a maple butcher block top and a paint job to match the rest of the kitchen. The breakfast bar also houses lower cabinets on the living room side for more storage, as well as a computer area with slide out keyboard tray and pencil drawer.
