This Upper West Side kitchen renovation was designed to balance modern minimalism with warmth; an approach that fits seamlessly into the architectural character of New York City apartments while delivering a highly functional, contemporary space.
The goal of this project was clarity and cohesion. Clean lines, natural textures, and thoughtful proportions define the space. Flat-panel wood cabinetry introduces warmth and subtle texture, while the marble surfaces add contrast and refinement without overpowering the room.
A waterfall island anchors the kitchen, serving as both a functional workspace and a visual centerpiece. Its bold veining creates movement and draws the eye, while maintaining a calm, monochromatic palette.

Each material was selected to complement the others, creating a cohesive environment that feels intentional and timeless.
The layout was carefully planned to maximize storage, workflow, and natural light. Floor-to-ceiling cabinetry provides ample storage while maintaining a sleek profile. The island adds prep space and seating without disrupting circulation, making the kitchen equally suited for everyday use and entertaining.
Recessed lighting and modern pendant fixtures were layered to ensure balanced illumination throughout the space, enhancing both usability and ambiance.
The finished kitchen feels open, refined, and highly functional; an elegant modern upgrade that respects its Upper West Side setting. This project reflects our commitment to precision, material quality, and thoughtful design execution.
