Brooklyn Condo Renovation In Prospect Heights | 535 Dean St

About This Renovation

This condo was purchased by a young family with the intent of growing into the home, warranting a complete condo renovation prior to moving in. Entertaining is also a big part of their lives, so a highly functional kitchen was very important. For this complete condo renovation, we delivered a condo kitchen remodel, three new bathrooms, new hardwood flooring throughout, plus custom closets.

Rich Character & Modern Touches

The kitchen we delivered for this Brooklyn condo renovation is both warm and functional, the ideal balance for a great entertainment space. The clients wanted a home filled with color and life, playful yet classic, influenced by their own rich cultural backgrounds.

The kitchen was already a large space, so a two-toned palette was instantly appealing. Our clients were drawn to the combination of white and wood grain, particularly walnut, with black fixtures against a soft hexagon backsplash to complete the look. Overall, modern touches and vibrant character combine to create a warm and functional kitchen with a welcoming aesthetic.

Raise the Bar

The addition of a wet bar was very important to our clients, who required a second sink and extra counter space to make weekday coffees and weekend cocktails. We designed to their specs, offering cabinetry to match the kitchen, open shelving, and a shimmery backsplash with under-cabinet lighting to display objects they’ve acquired throughout their travels.

Getting Organized With Built-Ins

Organization was another key factor to our clients in this NYC condo renovation. They loved traveling pre-pandemic, a hobby which tends to accumulate objects in terms of both gear and souvenirs. Our clients didn't just want shelving and rods though, they wanted separate spaces for shoeboxes, work clothes, luggage, etc. We designed their closets with this in mind, custom built to their exact specifications.

Colorful Bathrooms

Three bathrooms were totally overhauled in this Brooklyn condo renovation, with varying emphases on playful and classic throughout all. Blue is a bold accent color in two of the bathrooms, softened by a floating white vanity, white subway tile, and wall-mounted toilet in the one. In the powder room, an accent wall featuring ceramic tiles in Deep Blue makes a colorful statement.

A more subdued approach was taken in the master bathroom, where a double vanity in a handsome walnut finish is complemented by marbled white quartz countertops and chevron tiles for the floor and shower. All three bathrooms share a love of clean lines and eyecatching accents.

Some Highlights

  • Grohe SmartControl Shower System
  • Full custom Miralis cabinetry in the kitchen and bar area
  • Walker Zanger 4D Ceramic Hexagon tile backsplash
  • Custom millwork in the closet
  • Engineered wood floors throughout

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!!
