Red Hook, Brooklyn Farmhouse Apartment Renovation
About This Renovation
The owner of this co-op apartment on the cusp of Red Hook and Carroll Gardens always wanted a Farmhouse kitchen. The timing was just right since it was time for a major makeover. The existing kitchen was too dark and did not jive well with the homeowners aesthetic. The bathroom was dated, dimly lit, and lacked storage. Meanwhile the laundry area was cramped and had electrical outlet’s in all the wrong places.
Gallery Kitchen and Bath undertook this renovation which included a full gut renovation of the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room. The kitchen renovation included semi-custom shaker cabinets with under-cabinet lighting, an apron farmhouse sink, and a subway tile backsplash in a chevron pattern. In the bathroom we incorporated a modern fully-custom floating vanity, black hexagon floor tiles, and white subway wall tiles. To give the bathroom texture we incorporated a Carrara marble accent wall in a herringbone pattern. Lastly, we added recessed lighting and an Edison bulb light fixture above the recessed medicine cabinet, giving this bathroom everything that it needed – light, storage, and stylish transitional aesthetic.

BEFORE
This old kitchen was dark and moody while the bathroom lacked any personal style. The client wanted us to keep the existing footprint of their kitchen but refresh the aesthetic with a bright, modern look and a farmhouse twist. For the bathroom our client wanted more storage space, a brighter feel, and mix of modern and classic aesthetic.

Consider The Details: Benefits Of Combined Design & Architecture Planning For Your Apartment Renovation
Yes. Our project minimum is $400,000.
Renovation costs vary significantly based on apartment size, scope, finish level, existing conditions, and building type. As a general benchmark in Manhattan:
- Full gut renovation, pre-war apartment (~1,800 sq ft), upper-mid-level finishes: $500 to $650 per sq ft, or approximately $850,000 to $1,000,000+
- Same scope with luxury finishes, elaborate millwork, and extensive HVAC or window work: $600 to $850 per sq ft, or $1,000,000 to $1,500,000+
- Newer building in good condition, primarily cosmetic renovation: $375 to $500 per sq ft, or approximately $650,000 to $900,000
Pre-war buildings typically cost more due to older infrastructure and additional labor requirements.
