From luxury condo remodels to townhouse renovations, transforming a New York City home is never an easy task. Permits, boards, and century-old buildings complicate even the best-laid plans. Enter Gallery. As the premier turnkey design-build firm in NYC, our all-inclusive approach streamlines your renovation process from concept to completion. With award-winning projects throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn, including Tribeca, SoHo, Park Slope, and the Upper East Side, we make complex renovations feel effortless.
Behind every successful renovation is a team that knows how to navigate NYC’s unique challenges. At Gallery KBNY, that means uniting architecture, design, approvals, and construction into one coordinated process. By handling everything in-house—from board packages and DOB filings to material sourcing and project management—we remove the stress of juggling multiple parties. This integrated approach allows us to tackle projects of every scale, whether reimagining your kitchen and bathrooms, transforming a full apartment, or combining two apartments into one seamless home.
Kitchens and bathrooms are the hardest-working rooms in any New York City home — and often the most challenging to renovate. Small footprints, aging infrastructure, and strict building requirements leave little margin for error. At Gallery, we turn these constraints into opportunities, creating spaces that are not only beautiful but also built for everyday living.
In kitchens, we create thoughtful layouts that make the most of every inch, working to understand how our clients routinely use the spaces, then cater to their needs accordingly - whether that means opening up galley plans, integrating smart storage, or designing custom islands that double as gathering spaces. In bathrooms, that forward-thinking mindset means maximizing light and flow while incorporating luxury details like walk-in showers, soaking tubs, heated floors, and custom millwork.
As full home renovation experts in New York City, Gallery transforms entire residences into modern, functional, and cohesive living spaces. Whether reconfiguring a dated apartment layout, modernizing a historic brownstone, or updating every room of your family’s long-standing home, our combined approach unites architecture, design, and construction to deliver a complete renovation that is streamlined from concept to completion.
Our design-build model ensures every detail—structural, aesthetic, and mechanical—is addressed with your best interest in mind, maximizing space, value, and long-term livability—whether you’re preparing to sell, accommodating a growing family, or creating a forever home. For homeowners new to the process, our guide Full Home Renovations 101 breaks down what to expect and how to prepare.
Lofts are some of NYC’s most coveted spaces — wide-open floorplans, soaring ceilings, cast-iron columns, and oversized windows that flood rooms with light. Yet, those same features often come with challenges: outdated mechanical systems, uneven floors, exposed infrastructure, and an abundance of square footage that demands careful design to feel warm and livable.
As experts in loft renovation in New York City, we specialize in turning raw loft spaces into refined homes, balancing modern comfort with original architectural character. Our team reimagines layouts to define living zones without losing openness, integrates custom millwork for storage, and enhances acoustics and lighting to make expansive spaces feel cohesive and inviting. The result is a home that celebrates the industrial charm of your loft while elevating the space to meet your specific needs.
Are you or your family feeling cramped in your current NYC apartment and considering moving to gain more space? Before taking on the logistical headache of relocating, consider combining two apartments.

For a closer look at what this process involves, our article Combining Two NYC Apartments Into One? breaks down the steps, costs, and approvals involved. For homeowners lucky enough to have apartments above and below each other, Vertical Apartment Combinations in NYC: Everything You Need To Know details how to unite them into a seamless, spacious home.
