Many can get frustrated with their living space for a variety of reasons. Quite often, pain points become more apparent with the growing and shrinking of families, and as lifestyles shift to accommodate all sorts of changes and challenges. Often the result is the desire to find the next ‘perfect home’...and in this volatile economic climate, that’s not always an option, nor even the best one. Besides, what if all you really need is to reimagine the space you’re in?
Sometimes all it takes is a change of a wall here and there that makes a major impact, while other times it can be that and a face lift; and some times, it’s a bit more extensive. We’re here to help with any of those things!
Take a look at the light remodel done here in this apartment remodel, for instance. For a one-bedroom flat, it’s rather large; and besides being heavily overdue for a makeover, it also had a highly inefficient floor plan: a large entryway that really was its own room - a cold, dark cavern cut off from the rest of the space. The separating wall also partially blocked a window in the living room. The goal was to refresh the space into one that would bring quality tenants, and to also give the apartment as much flexibility as possible within its footprint, that would encourage long-term tenants to stick around.
We redesigned the space, creating an entry that naturally opened to the living room and added a sizable coat closet. The remainder of the large entry space that was once a dumping ground for tenants, became a useful flex space: a bit too small for a traditional bedroom, but large enough to earn title as a heated home office, or perhaps a miniature nursery for a young starter family, or even a glammed up dressing room. We finished this first phase of the project off by addressing some layout issues in the kitchen; updated the wiring, heating and lighting, removed popcorn ceilings and re-plastered and painted, as well as replaced with new flooring and exterior doors - all while preserving some of this century-old apartment’s best quirky features!
We took this project on from start to finish, from the design to full ex*****on. Need help? We can do that!
