While floods from above are never welcome, for our clients at 21 India Street, the damage created an opportunity to transform their new-build condo in a way that finally felt personal. Located in prime Greenpoint with exquisite waterfront views, this three-bedroom, three-bath new-build condo got a tasteful facelift via a reimagined kitchen and dining room, plus stunning new herringbone flooring throughout.
Our new kitchen design leaned into a French farmhouse aesthetic, only with a modern, elevated look. The centerpiece of the space is a beautifully bold black-and-brass La Cornue range, which we surrounded in style by layering in hand-painted backsplash tiling and a sleek custom plaster hood. From there, we mixed hardware, blending classic latches and modern knobs, for a purposeful vintage feel. Even the pendant lighting was chosen to feel intentional yet unintrusive, tying together a space that balances evergreen charm and function.

Custom work calls for coordination (shout out Team Gallery!). From extended lead times on those handcrafted tiles to the precise plasterwork required for the vent hood, this Greenpoint renovation was a masterclass in material choreography. To meet the modern French farmhouse motif, each selection needed to play various roles (elevated, personal, timeless) and also work well with other elements. Details like the hardware combo, herringbone flooring, and layered lighting do more than look nice. They offer balance and rhythm throughout the home. The result is a brand new kitchen space that somehow feels thoughtfully curated and lived-in.
Though the heart of the renovation lived in the kitchen and dining areas, its impact reaches every corner. Rich herringbone flooring runs throughout the condo, creating cohesion and elevating the everyday. What started with a water leak ended with a home that feels not only repaired, but reborn, with character, craftsmanship, and a clear point of view.

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.
