Staircase - modern staircase idea

We are back with our newest transformation! This small 1-Bedroom apartment on the Upper West Side is a perfect contemporary pied-à-terre with ample storage. The highlight is open floor plan and custom kitchen with seated island. The room facing side of the counter top wall was finished with reclaimed wood. I mirrored the floor tile pattern in the custom cladding for column hiding the drain pipe we could not move. This kitchen design maximized shelving/storage to utilize every inch of space. We did all new flooring, ceiling, wiring, our signature PTAC covers, custom hallway closets, and a classic subway tile white bathroom to give this Prewar apartment a full contemporary transformation!!

Completed in two phases, the kitchen in this home was first overhauled and the wall separating it from the dining room was torn down. The structure, hidden in the boxed ceiling, compliments the original details as they were woven into this new great room. New sliding doors replacing the relocated bathroom at the rear beckon one to the garden. This created the palette for the owner to tailor the finishes exquisitely. The resplendent marble counter top is the heart of their tasteful new living space, ideal for entertaining. For phase two, the owner commissioned ONE Design to flood the upper level of the home with light. The owner, inspired by her rural upbringing in Humboldt, wished to draw inspiration from this and her Eichler-like grandparent’s home. ONE Design vaulted the ceilings to create an open soaring roof and provide a clean three dimensional canvass. Adding skylights which bathe the clean walls in an ever changing light show was the centerpiece of this transformation. Transom windows over the bedroom doors offer additional light to the interior circulation space. Enlarged windows combine the owner’s desire to live in a “glass house,” while paying respect to the Edwardian heritage of the home and providing expansive views of the meadow-like garden oasis. The cherry on top is the attic retreat, adding a north facing dormer that peeks at the Golden Gate Bridge offers a serene perch — perfect escapism for a creative writer!

Kitchen - contemporary kitchen idea in New York

Custom composite deck finished in a rich mahogany tone for a warm, timeless look. This outdoor space blends the durability of modern composite materials with the clean, detailed craftsmanship Wicked Builders is known for. The mahogany‑color boards deliver the depth and character of real hardwood without the maintenance, while the rails, trim, and transitions were installed with precision for a seamless, high‑end finish. Built to handle New England weather and designed for everyday living, this deck adds long‑lasting beauty and function to the home.

The sleek fireplace wall was designed using Dekton Porcelain slabs. An asymmetrical design on the fireplace was achieved by cutting the slab into rectilinear segments creating a "Mondrian" effect. The wall covering slabs have a smooth wood grain texture to them with 3/16" reveals in between--painted lime green for an unexpected POP! The custom hearth was also created using Dekton in a rich brown tone to complement the wood flooring that runs throughout the great room space. PhotographerLink

When working on our exterior projects, we do our best to hide all fasteners. It;s a cleaner look, and improves the performance of the fasteners themselves.
