About This Renovation

This loft kitchen renovation in downtown Brooklyn was for a professional chef who wanted an upgrade to his culinary home base.

Chef's Kitchen

We have extremely high standards for every luxury kitchen design we undertake, but when a professional chef hired us for his Brooklyn kitchen remodel, the bar was immediately raised. Not only did we need an extremely functional kitchen he could operate in, but the space needed to be presentable on camera, so he could shoot cooking content to share with his audience. To ensure no ingredients were missed in our renovation recipe, we collaborated with the owner on the design concept and wound up creating a five-star space that left the owner giving the chef's kiss of approval.

Eye Appeal

Like most NYC lofts, the overall aesthetic was more modern and contemporary. So, a flat, sleek design played well in this Brooklyn renovation, especially with the clean, two-tone navy and white color scheme.

We wound up reconfiguring the space, creating a new peninsula and placing between the windows, to leverage additional natural light and offer more of a true serving station. The peninsula offers a beautiful flowing waterfall edge with bookmatch finish.


Custom Quartz Countertop

The man-made quartz counter and backsplash we chose not only elevated the kitchen aesthetic, but provided a practical workspace for the chef. Notice there are no grout lines, making the counter extremely easy to clean after a full course dinner. Plus, the quartz isn't porous (like marble, for instance), and constant maintenance isn't needed.

Added Flavor

We've all been gifted kitchen appliances, and rarely do we have places to put them. Well, our Brooklyn chef here had every cooking gadget imaginable. This required us to get extremely creative with the cabinetry, creating custom shelving and pull-outs to accessorize everything ideally. Like they say, when there's an ice cream maker, there's a way.

Our success stories

Forget about any horror story you have heard about contractors. Stop right here. This is the design-build contractor you want to HIRE. It was a breeze working with Gallery on our apartment combination project. We looked at quiet a few design-build companies and chose Gallery because of the great communication and the fact that they were able to manage material purchasing and product selection for us. They were honest, took responsibility and pride in their work.”

Gallery KBNY has been absolutely amazing with my renovation. As a complete newbie, I was expecting a stressful process, but they made everything incredibly smooth—and I learned so much along the way. They’re truly a concierge-level service that genuinely cares about both their clients and the quality of their work. I know I couldn’t have chosen a better team. Colin, Morgan, and Leo were fantastic with logistics; Kate is a brilliant designer; and Alex was, hands down, one of the most responsive and professional contacts I’ve ever worked with. The entire experience was marked by ease, efficiency, quality, and grace. 10/10 recommend!

We used Gallery KBNY to re-design our kitchen and other rooms. Avi Zikry's design was amazing. His vision enabled us to create a whole new look and a better functioning space. That was a year ago, and we are very happy with the results. I highly recommend him. View full renovation: https://www.gallerykbny.com/our-work/manhattan-apartment-renovation-91-central-park-west

We loved working with Avi and the whole team at Gallery Kitchen and Bath. From our very first meeting, we felt like we were in great hands. Avi is so responsive—always available, quick to come up with solutions, and he and his team helped us pivot whenever needed without losing momentum. Renovating in NYC is complicated, but they handled all the logistics seamlessly and made the process so much less stressful. They do everything—design, architectural work, and managing every detail and skilled trade needed for a full gut renovation of our loft apartment —so we never had to worry. They are in full control of their workers, which allows them to stay on track and adapt quickly. They were creative and helpful when we needed to pivot on design unexpectedly. We felt like we had true partners that genuinely cared about our project and our well being! The finished space truly exceeds our expectations—we are so proud of our beautiful new home. It’s hard to put into words how positive our experience was overall. We would not hesitate for a moment to recommend Avi and the entire team at Gallery. They will be our very first call if we ever need to renovate again in the future… and you should call right now if you’re considering a renovation!

I enthusiastically recommend Gallery, who did a superb job renovating our once decrepit 2-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn Heights. The project involved a full kitchen and bathroom renovation, as well as new electrical, refinished floors, new doors, new baseboards, and some rearranged bedroom closets. What is more, when I have them the wrong paint color for my daughter’s bedroom, and the team started to paint that color, they got the paint I wanted and corrected the “mistake” (which has actually been my mistake) and didn’t charge me for that either. I’d choose them again 100 times over and definitely recommend them to anyone considering a similar project.

We interviewed about 8 different companies before hiring a contractor for our apartment renovations. Although Gallery was not the cheapest option, we chose them based on their upfront billing format, high client reviews, and depth of knowledge. We loved how it was a “one stop shop” and were paying one bill, up front. Everything was very transparent and we could not be happier with the results! Our apartment looks exactly how we imagined. Thank you!!
