Forest Hills Penthouse

The island measures nearly 8 feet long. In an apartment building, elevator size limitations posed a challenge. Fortunately, the installers were willing to carry the island stone up the stairs 10 flights to avoid any seams.

The bedrooms were refreshed and redecorated, while the primary and guest bathrooms were revitalized with mosaic marble tiles and large-format wall tiles. Fortunately, the building's wet-over-dry policy was not in effect here, allowing us to enlarge the primary bathroom by creating a larger shower and adding a double vanity.

The original herringbone floors were refinished to minimize waste and preserve their classic charm.

A standout feature of the penthouse is the 600-square-foot exterior terrace, which was also updated and refurnished. This space now provides a relaxing retreat with stunning views of the Manhattan skyline.

The wall separating the kitchen and dining room needed to be removed according to our revised layout. This required building permits, but fortunately, it was not a structural wall. We were able to remove it to create an open concept space for the young clients.
