The owners of this recently-purchased loft in the BellTel Lofts building hired Gallery KBNY to renovate their kitchen and bathroom. The existing kitchen was in fairly good shape but the dark cherry wood cabinets and sea-foam green backsplash did not meet our clients' aesthetic goals. Instead, they were looking for a more transitional aesthetic with lighter tones for their Brooklyn renovation. To bring their dreamy luxury kitchen design to life, our interior design team paired a grey fully custom shaker cabinet with a white quartz countertop and a hand painted tile backsplash. In the bathroom, we used terrazzo floor tile with a hand painted wall tile, giving this bathroom and kitchen renovation a much needed clean look with bursts of contrast through the use of brass and champagne fixtures.

For a full apartment of about 1,700 square feet, construction typically runs five to six months. Design, board approval, and permitting come first and usually take four to six months, so most full renovations move from first consultation to move-in in 10 to 12 months. Scope, building rules, and how much infrastructure is being replaced set where a project falls in that range.

The construction portion of a full kitchen renovation typically takes 7 to 11 weeks. Door to door, the timeline depends mostly on the building: about 10 to 14 weeks in a private townhouse, 14 to 20 weeks in a condo, 16 to 24 weeks in a post-war co-op, and 20 to 30 weeks in a pre-war co-op, where board and engineering review take longer. Gallery KBNY orders custom cabinetry, stone, and long-lead appliances during design and approvals, so materials arrive ready for the build.

The construction portion of a bathroom renovation typically takes three to four weeks. Gallery KBNY renovates bathrooms as part of larger interior renovations, so bathroom work is sequenced alongside the rest of the apartment within the overall project schedule.

Board review and execution of the alteration agreement typically take 6 to 10 weeks in a post-war co-op and 8 to 14 weeks in a pre-war co-op, where asbestos filings, electrical load letters, and engineering review add steps. DOB permits usually run at the same time. A complete package with full technical drawings and specifications tends to clear the building's reviewing architect in one or two rounds, which keeps the approval phase on schedule.
