Accessibility was a primary driver in the design of this residential elevator project. The homeowners were focused on ensuring they could comfortably access all four levels of their home as they age, leading them to opt for a thoughtfully integrated elevator installation. Beyond function, it was equally important that the elevator felt like a natural extension of the home’s existing style and charm. The design prioritizes warmth, timeless materials, and architectural continuity, allowing the elevator to blend seamlessly with both the interior spaces and the exterior façade. The result is a solution that supports long-term livability without sacrificing the character or elegance of the home.

This kitchen and bathroom come from a recently completed home built during my time working alongside Randy Jones Construction in Middle Tennessee. The focus throughout the project was clean execution, durable materials, and thoughtful details that elevate everyday use—without overcomplicating the design. In the kitchen, that meant a functional layout, custom cabinetry, and finishes that balance warmth with a modern feel. In the bathrooms, we leaned into larger shower niches, clean tile lines, and custom glass enclosures to create a more open, usable space. This type of work continues to shape how we approach projects at Myers & Beck today—prioritizing craftsmanship, simplicity, and building things the right way the first time.

Our plan was to create a spacious walk-in shower, relocate the toilet, add a double sink vanity, and maximize the available space. By moving the sink wall over a foot, we were able to accommodate a 72-inch vanity and create a spacious doorway. The toilet was relocated and repositioned for added privacy. We designed a custom curbless walk-in shower with a corner shower bench and niche. A glass-gridded shower partition was added to separate the shower from the rest of the bathroom. To add a touch of color and drama, we chose black fixtures to complement the light gray walls and white quartz countertops. The almost 6-inch shower head, along with the handheld shower wand, provides a luxurious spa-like experience from the comfort of your home.

Located in the heart of Manhattan’s Lower East Side, the building was erected on a shallow commercial lot between two 120 year old masonry buildings and a new residential rental building. 330 Grand Street is a mix of 725 SF 1BRs and 1050 SF 2BR apartments. It also contains a 1100 SF two story duplex as well as private and public rooftop space, large private balconies for most units and two large private terraces for the ground floor units. 330 Grand Street was originally designed and approved at the NYC DOB as a prefabricated modular building. During the pandemic, as shipping costs skyrocketed putting the project at risk, we suggested redesigning the building as a reinforced cast-in-place concrete structure. Concrete was readily available and prices had not been affected by the demand increase that many other materials suffered in the pandemic. We took this opportunity to raise floor to ceiling heights, enlarge high performance windows and redistribute the buildings MEPFS and Structural Systems to create very open floor plans. The challenge was to create a luxurious sensorial living experience with very limited means. In a city with very high construction costs, low cost residential buildings in the area are usually devoid of good quality, design and character. Our approach was to aim high for the end user, prioritizing natural light, open space with long visual perspectives, high ceilings and as always, rejecting the use of predefined building templates. Our biggest challenge was to ensure that the small spaces feel as clean cut, large and bright as possible. Several unique design decisions were made to ensure low cost and high quality; Floor plans were laid out so that spaces were wide open and free of clutter from mechanical or structural interruptions. Therefore all infrastructure was placed in lateral demising walls, which in turn act as the unit’s storage and kitchen. The apartments feel wide open, are super quiet and have more storage space than any other comparable apartment in the city. To solve the problem of the site’s shallow commercial lot which is typically prone to dark interior spaces we focused our attention on the building’s envelope. Instead of the usual small punched window openings, oversized high performance windows were designed to ensure that light penetrated as far as possible into the units. In the smaller 1BR units, the full 50’ depth of the lot is perceived by partitioning spaces with sliding pocket doors that can be retracted to allow deep visual perspectives, making the sight lines in the space feel longer, larger, more ample than normal. In addition to the full height glazing, each unit above the 2nd floor receives a 7 foot covered balcony, adding 120 to 240 sf to each apartment, something unusual in New York City buildings. The space is large enough for a full size dining table, when the weather permits being outside. We also worked hard to ensure modularity. For example, all kitchen units are all identical throughout the building. The idea of modularity and the economy of the repetitive unit is exercised to the maximum through the building. Hardware, appliances, flooring, wall coverings and material finishes are all carefully selected to feel bespoke, high quality and unique. It was important to KURV that the result of this work manifest into something that would deeply connect with the end user and sustain relationships with the consumers of this space.

We prioritized function, longevity, and a clean, bright aesthetic while preserving the existing character of the space.

This kitchen is a perfect example of how thoughtful design can transform the heart of a home into a warm, inviting sanctuary. By pairing custom sage green lower cabinetry with crisp white shaker uppers, we created a sophisticated two-tone look that feels both modern and timeless. The star of the space is the stunning veined quartzite countertops, which seamlessly tie together the organic tones of the cabinetry with the high-end brass hardware and professional-grade stainless steel appliances. Every detail was curated for both beauty and functionality—from the charming garden window that floods the space with natural light to the intricate hand-carved wood valance that adds a touch of artisanal character. Whether it’s the convenience of the pot filler over the range or the glow of the under-cabinet lighting, this remodel proves that you don't have to choose between "magazine-ready" style and everyday livability.
