We were excited when the homeowners of this project approached us to help them with their whole house remodel as this is a historic preservation project. The historical society has approved this remodel. As part of that distinction we had to honor the original look of the home; keeping the façade updated but intact. For example the doors and windows are new but they were made as replicas to the originals. The homeowners were relocating from the Inland Empire to be closer to their daughter and grandchildren. One of their requests was additional living space. In order to achieve this we added a second story to the home while ensuring that it was in character with the original structure. The interior of the home is all new. It features all new plumbing, electrical and HVAC. Although the home is a Spanish Revival the homeowners style on the interior of the home is very traditional. The project features a home gym as it is important to the homeowners to stay healthy and fit. The kitchen / great room was designed so that the homewoners could spend time with their daughter and her children. The home features two master bedroom suites. One is upstairs and the other one is down stairs. The homeowners prefer to use the downstairs version as they are not forced to use the stairs. They have left the upstairs master suite as a guest suite.

All of the windows and doors were replicated to match the original styling of the house. The roof is a combination of Gable and Hip and is made of red clay tile. The arched door and windows are typical of Spanish Revival. The home also features a Juliette Balcony and window. Library / Living Room: The library offers Pocket Doors and custom bookcases. Powder Room: This powder room has a black toilet and Herringbone travertine. Kitchen: This kitchen was designed for someone who likes to cook! It features a Pot Filler, a peninsula and an island, a prep sink in the island, and cookbook storage on the end of the peninsula. The homeowners opted for a mix of stainless and paneled appliances. Although they have a formal dining room they wanted a casual breakfast area to enjoy informal meals with their grandchildren. The kitchen also utilizes a mix of recessed lighting and pendant lights. A wine refrigerator and outlets conveniently located on the island and around the backsplash are the modern updates that were important to the homeowners. Master bath: The master bath enjoys both a soaking tub and a large shower with body sprayers and hand held. For privacy, the bidet was placed in a water closet next to the shower. There is plenty of counter space in this bathroom which even includes a makeup table. Staircase: The staircase features a decorative niche Upstairs master suite: The upstairs master suite features the Juliette balcony Outside: Wanting to take advantage of southern California living the homeowners requested an outdoor kitchen complete with retractable awning. The fountain and lounging furniture keep it light. Home gym: This gym comes completed with rubberized floor covering and dedicated bathroom. It also features its own HVAC system and wall mounted TV.

APD was hired to update the kitchen, powder bathroom, and second floor primary bathroom classical urban townhome. The home had previously undergone some “unfortunate” remodels and our design focus was to reinfuse traditional character back into her bones while adding some modern and truly custom amenities. The traditional layout of the home meant our kitchen was a distinct room (not a great room style layout) and the new space plan took advantage of all four walls of the space. Where an unused chimney previously existed, now stands the concealed and built-in refrigerator while the microwave was hidden within adjacent cabinetry. A custom blue and brass range flanked in black cabinetry, backed by a traditional marble tile inset, and capped with a plaster hood in black to match the cabinetry - providing a seamless transition to the rest of the space. Floating shelves with a brass bar rail and decorative sconces provide both functional and decorative storage. A huge change was made at the back wall of the kitchen. Windows are topped with decorative sconces with counter height seating below (offering a smooth transition to the deck just outside for entertaining!). Both sides of the window are flanked with ample storage and a food and water station (with pot filler for easy top-off!) was incorporated for the homeowner’s four-legged family member (who was sadly lost before the project completed but sits in loving memory of him and waiting for a new loved one to join the family when their hearts are ready!)

This master bathroom was once shouting with coral wallpaper, harsh gold accents and an over sized, unused tub. Our client wanted to escape to their master bathroom and feel as if they were in a spa atmosphere. We were able to show our client’s 3D concept renderings to communicate our overall master bathroom design. Using a marble curved basket weave mosaic tile on the floor with a black granite outline and Carrara baseboard, this stunning design began to take place. We selected a solid white, gloss tile for the shower walls so that our tile accent would be the shower focal point. The shower features a curbless entry, linear drain and seamless glass design for the most luxurious shower experience. Since our client had two beautiful chandeliers from her late mother’s home, we incorporated the fixtures into the lighting plan for a touch of sentimental glam. Custom designed vanity cabinets along with a vessel sink and waterfall edge countertop provided a useful yet beautiful accent to this bathroom. Stunning black sconces offer a softer lighting option that is incorporated with new can lights overhead. The finishing touch on this beautiful master bathroom is the custom designed valances above the windows that offer a sleek black accent with a subtle floral print. This beautiful master bathroom was photographed by Michael Hunter Photography.

Character and details are the highlight of this stunning modern kitchen remodel! Working with the existing footprint of the space was very important to our clients, so our senior designer Bethann created a design that played off the room’s unique stone accents and dramatic ceiling beams. Our custom Sharer Cabinetry is featured in striking contrasts of white and black, with floating shelves added to the existing stone walls. The large center island offers abundant storage and serving options, while upgraded appliances offer added convenience. Our clients love their updated, reimagined kitchen - and so do we!

When the developer found this brownstone on the Upper Westside he immediately researched and found its potential for expansion. We were hired to maximize the existing brownstone and turn it from its current existence as 5 individual apartments into a large luxury single family home. The existing building was extended 16 feet into the rear yard and a new sixth story was added along with an occupied roof. The project was not a complete gut renovation, the character of the parlor floor was maintained, along with the original front facade, windows, shutters, and fireplaces throughout. A new solid oak stair was built from the garden floor to the roof in conjunction with a small supplemental passenger elevator directly adjacent to the staircase. The new brick rear facade features oversized windows; one special aspect of which is the folding window wall at the ground level that can be completely opened to the garden. The goal to keep the original character of the brownstone yet to update it with modern touches can be seen throughout the house. The large kitchen has Italian lacquer cabinetry with walnut and glass accents, white quartz counters and backsplash and a Calcutta gold arabesque mosaic accent wall. On the parlor floor a custom wetbar, large closet and powder room are housed in a new floor to ceiling wood paneled core. The master bathroom contains a large freestanding tub, a glass enclosed white marbled steam shower, and grey wood vanities accented by a white marble floral mosaic. The new forth floor front room is highlighted by a unique sloped skylight that offers wide skyline views. The house is topped off with a glass stair enclosure that contains an integrated window seat offering views of the roof and an intimate space to relax in the sun.

Full Bathroom Remodel with Modern Elegance and Functionality BMR Belmax Remodeling recently completed an exceptional full bathroom remodel, transforming a dated space into a luxurious retreat that combines style, function, and elegance. This Richboro-based project showcases our team’s dedication to craftsmanship, innovation, and efficiency, with the entire remodel completed in just 12 days. From large-format tiles to a new walk-in shower and freestanding bathtub, every detail was carefully selected and executed to meet the client’s vision and lifestyle. Project Details: Elegant Modern Touches The remodel started with a complete demolition of the existing bathroom, allowing us to design and rebuild the space from scratch. This fresh start enabled our designers to create a seamless flow between key features, maximizing both space and functionality. Large-format tiles were chosen for the floors and walls, creating a sleek, sophisticated look while minimizing grout lines for easier maintenance. The neutral tones of the tiles bring warmth and elegance, setting a relaxing ambiance for the entire bathroom. Walk-In Shower and Freestanding Bathtub One of the primary highlights of this remodel is the new walk-in shower, designed with clean lines and glass doors that enhance the spacious feel of the bathroom. Equipped with a modern rain showerhead and stylish matte black fixtures, the shower provides a luxurious, spa-like experience. Adjacent to the shower, a freestanding bathtub adds a touch of modern sophistication. Its elegant design serves as a focal point, offering a perfect spot for relaxation after a long day, enhanced by the striking black finish on all fixtures. Custom Vanity and Lighting The client wanted both style and storage in their vanity, so we installed a custom-built vanity with ample drawer space and a sleek countertop. The vanity’s design complements the bathroom’s overall aesthetic, blending seamlessly with the large-format tiles and matte black fixtures. Above the vanity, new lighting fixtures were installed to provide soft, even illumination, perfect for daily routines. The strategically placed lights not only add to the bathroom’s functionality but also enhance the room’s calming, inviting atmosphere. Updated Plumbing Fixtures and High-Quality Materials Throughout the remodel, our team used only high-quality materials, ensuring the bathroom is built to last. The updated plumbing fixtures, finished in matte black, add a contemporary edge to the space. This finish not only complements the neutral tones of the large-format tiles but also contributes a modern sophistication to the bathroom. Every element, from the large tiles to the smallest fixtures, was selected for its durability, function, and style. A Smooth and Efficient Remodel One of the most remarkable aspects of this project was its timeline—completed in just 12 days. BMR Belmax Remodeling’s skilled team managed each phase meticulously, from demolition to final touches, ensuring a seamless process. The client was thrilled with both the efficiency and the high-quality finish, expressing delight in the transformation of their bathroom into a functional, beautiful retreat. In this project, BMR Belmax Remodeling delivered a bathroom that is not only visually stunning but also optimized for comfort and convenience. Our commitment to quality and client satisfaction is evident in every detail, making this Richboro bathroom remodel a proud addition to our portfolio.
