This is a historically old apartment — around 120 years old — that underwent a full two-stage renovation. The transformation preserves the building’s character but brings the interior into a thoroughly modern, highly functional space. What stands out immediately is how the renovation smartly leverages every cubic foot: rather than just replacing old fixtures, the design team rethought the layout to maximize utility and storage.
The heart of the kitchen is a modern-style island, cantilevered three feet to create a bold, floating effect. This kind of island becomes both a centerpiece and a highly functional workspace — ideal for cooking, serving, or casual meals. Around the island and under the staircase, the cabinetry is optimized for efficiency. The base units feature drawers rather than traditional doors, giving easier, more ergonomic access to storage. Under the stairs — often wasted space — the renovation hides a suite of “push-on open” drawers, putting what would be dead space to very active use.
Upper and lower cabinets use modern closing systems (a “transformer” cabinetry approach) that likely includes soft-close hinges and drawers, hidden hardware, and a smooth minimal aesthetic. That keeps the clean lines and avoids visual clutter — a hallmark of contemporary kitchens. Combined with modern lighting and a streamlined stair design, the renovation gives the whole apartment a sense of lightness, openness, and functionality.
Overall, the apartment feels like a successful fusion of old-home charm and modern minimalist design. The focus on storage efficiency, smart use of space (especially under the stairs), and clean, modern lines speaks to a thoughtful remodeling that respects the past while delivering 21st-century comfort and style.
