The owners of this apartment in the Flowerbox Building – one of NYC’s modern architectural gems – hired Gallery for two bathroom renovations: the master suite and guest. The goal was to make each space their own, a step (or three) up from the developer-grade materials that originally furnished the apartment. While the main focus was the very particular new looks of the bathrooms, some of the kitchen cabinets were also upgraded to provide much-needed contrast in that space.
The process in this Manhattan bathroom renovation was highly collaborative, with really specific material selections. The apartments in the Flowerbox Building feature floor-to-ceiling glass windows which overlook a beautiful city park. Right around the corner is a busy NYC street, but if you’re sitting on the balcony or even in your bedroom gazing out the back window, a tranquil park greets you. This view provided the inspiration for the spa-like atmosphere cultivated in the master bath, brought to life with two different types of marble and a completely custom, one-of-a-kind sink. In the guest bathroom, glazed porcelain tiles designed to resemble sheets of aged metal and a futuristic mirror create a mood that is unconventional and forward-thinking yet still accessible.

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.
