Throgs Neck Residence

This project entails renovations to an existing residential house. Removing a wall has created a centralized zone of open living space. With no constrictions, the living room is open to a refreshing L-shaped kitchen with new furnishings. The staircase was extended to the required codes and is encased with a noticeably-accent color of wood running against the flooring grains.

With a limited budget, the team utilized innovative techniques to enhance design integrity without compromising. In doing so, we focused on unique details that cast their shine. Elevating elements such as door framings, staircase designs, and other materiality of furnishings, flooring, and tilings. In combination with the accent of wood and gray furnishings, each key element stands out on its own.
