UPPER WEST SIDE KITCHEN RESTORATION

Project Overview

NYTDR recently completed a full kitchen renovation in a classic Upper East Side apartment, delivering a transformation that blends function, refinement, and modern design. Working within the existing kitchen galley layout, the goal was to elevate both form and efficiency — bringing a brighter, more polished energy into the heart of the home. Renovating a kitchen involves more than just style; it’s essential to factor in design priorities, space optimization, and practical considerations to achieve a seamless transformation.

Full NYC Kitchen Redesign

• Streamlined Cabinetry & Integrated Storage-To keep the narrow footprint feeling open, the design team opted for soft gray lower cabinets and crisp white upper units with clean lines and minimalist hardware. Custom millwork maximizes every inch of space while maintaining a calm, cohesive aesthetic.
• Quartz Surfaces with Character- Countertops were upgraded to white quartz with graceful veining — a durable, low-maintenance choice that brings subtle drama and ties together the cool-toned palette.
• Premium Appliances & Subtle Detailing- A suite of modern stainless steel appliances was built in with precision, including a gas cooktop and a sleek bottom-freezer refrigerator. Choosing high-quality appliances not only enhances the kitchen’s functionality but also helps prevent issues like leaking, ensuring long-lasting performance. The details — from brushed metal handles to discreet under-cabinet lighting — bring quiet sophistication to the overall look.
• Light, Flow & Everyday Function- A continuous LED ceiling fixture adds architectural interest while casting bright, even light throughout the kitchen. The space was designed for ease of movement, with thoughtful placement of each zone — cooking, prep, and storage — to support everyday life in a fast-paced city setting.
