East Village Apartment Remodel. Unit Merge. This was one of my first projects—and where my fascination with transforming spaces truly began.
Located in the heart of NYC’s East Village, right on Tompkins Square Park, this renovation combined a two-bedroom apartment and a studio into one cohesive home. Downstairs was Casimir, once the best French bistro in town (where I spotted Steve Buscemi and other familiar faces). Though it’s no longer there, the spirit of the neighborhood still lingers.When I first saw the place, it had all the marks of a quick flip. But I saw past the surface and focused on bringing out its true potential. This renovation was about more than finishes. It was about creating flow, maximizing light, and honoring the energy of a historic building in a timeless neighborhood.
