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.

NYC RENOVATION FAQS
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.
