Sutton Place Co-Op Renovation At The Sovereign | 425 East 58th Street

About This Renovation

This stand-out Manhattan renovation began with a clear vision from our clients, a retired couple ready to settle into city life after years of managing a large vacation home in Provincetown. They wanted their new Sutton Place space to reflect their thoughtful traditional style while incorporating choice updates to make the most of the square footage. Collaborative from the outset, they were deeply involved in the design process, from selecting fixtures to refining layouts - but always welcomed our input throughout. Best case scenario. Together, we transformed their new abode into a home that feels timeless, functional, and entirely their own.

Full Gut Renovation, Everything Goes

We opened up the kitchen to create a more functional and inviting space while keeping the bathroom’s original footprint but upgrading it with all-new fixtures and finishes. Replacing the windows was a significant task, as was adding HVAC—a process made smoother thanks to the building’s incredibly supportive super. Despite the scope of the renovation, challenges were minimal, allowing us to approach the project with ease and execute the remodel on our own terms.

Every Room Is A Knockout 

Choosing a standout room in this home isn’t easy, as every space exudes its own unique charm. The clients, passionate about wallpaper, allowed us to bring creative design into each bathroom with carefully selected patterns that set the tone for each. The powder room features a moody wallpaper, adding a touch of drama, while the master bathroom embraces airy elegance with a light, refined design.  

Traditional Meets Contemporary

From a design stand point, the goal was traditional design with contemporary details. They have traditional style furniture, so they wanted that to reflect in the design. We accomplished this added millwork and wall accents throughout the space. Doors make an impact as well, with a few painted black—an uncommon request that added striking depth and dimension to the overall design.

Millwork Detail Throughout 

The millwork throughout this home was crafted with meticulous attention to detail, enhancing both the functionality and aesthetic of each space. In a unique niche of the entry hallway, we created a built-in bookcase that adds both function and charm. The den also features a custom-built bookcase, while the kitchen boasts a custom-built bar that enhances its beauty. The kitchen itself is stunning, with a luxurious marble countertop featuring a waterfall detail. One challenge we faced was a gas pipe running through the center of the island, which we couldn’t remove. Instead, we designed custom cabinetry around it, transforming the pipe into a seamless, architectural column.

Elevator Landing Update

To transform the entryway between the apartment and its neighbor, we updated the flooring with a sleek, modern finish and replaced the tile for a more cohesive look. The walls were adorned with a statement wallpaper that added texture and character, while a new light fixture set the perfect ambiance. These changes were designed to create an inviting, seamless transition as soon as you step off the elevator.

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 did a gut renovation of the two extremely dated bathrooms in our 1940 Bayside home. We couldn’t be more pleased with the results! The process from beginning to end was facilitated by their team, who came up with great design ideas and suggestions. They were always on top of the project and responded to our questions/problems quickly, with 100% resolution. I would not hesitate to recommend them!

Worked with the Gallery Team to do a full gut renovation of our home. As a young family we wanted a more modern and open layout but needed a practical and functional layout which the Gallery Team worked with us to design. They were very helpful through the entire process and worked with us each step of the way with great responsiveness and care for our project. They were helpful but not pushy through the design process and efficient through the construction process. They maintained open lines of dialogue and we are very happy with the way our home turned out. Thank you Gallery!

From the start, we wanted a crew that could do full service (design and build). After looking at some other designs, we really liked what Gallery offered in way of aesthetics. Then, during the entire process, the team was all over it! Issues always come up, but it’s how these guys handled them that make me here writing a positive review. Can’t recommend them highly enough

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!!
