Before and after – this apartment's dated interiors and leopard print carpet made way for a modern transitional design

before and after of the same staircase in a renovated apartment

If you live in Manhattan, space, height, and natural light are invaluable commodities. The glitz and glamour of NYC don't always translate to the interiors of these oft-cramped apartments, but designers at PJCArchitecture changed all of that in this Park Avenue duplex. 

A complete gut renovation transformed this 1400-square-foot apartment into a stylish modern home that masters the transitional trend. Tasked with retrofitting the dim and outdated 1960s-era envelope, the team opened the floor plan to maximize natural light and introduced classic Victorian features such as herringbone floors, crown moldings, and wainscoting. Completed in collaboration with Cortlandt Contracting Corporation and Brittany Marom Interior Design, the newly remodelled home now has the contemporary Parisian-chic aesthetic the homeowners dreamed of.
