LOCATION: Upper West Side  – 31 W 93rd Street, NYC

CONSTRUCTION DURATION: 2 months

The Full Story Behind this Prewar Primary Bathroom Renovation:

This second phase renovation for the Primary Bath completed this Contemporary transformation of this duplex apartment. We managed to put the finishing touches on a few remaining items on the first floor, but the main attraction was the Primary Bathroom gut renovation. The design included integrating this room’s builtins and changing everything else including the undercount luxurious soaking tub, separate double vanities, Toto toilet and large shower for typical NYC Bathroom spaces.

Key Renovation Highlights:

The primary bath layout actually worked, but needed a gut reno to replace the shower pan/floors with waterproofing since it was never done!  Access valves were not “accessible” and behind the tub walls!  Basically, all new plumbing rough- ins required. Along with this, we changed everything with a contemporary gorgeous porcelain tile and textured accent wall of the same material, new modern plumbing fixtures from California Faucets, new radiant heat floors, lighting, changed the medicine cabinet doors and casing, my custom vanities and a great Victoria and Albert soaking tub!

Project Result: A Primary Bathroom Transformation

The transformation of this Primary Bathroom achieved the “spa” quality aesthetic we designed, and although just one room for this project, it was amazing!! The clients were ecstatic!  Now this second phase brought the whole apartment together and they love it!
