Whole House Remodel Under $200,000

The context for this whole house renovation is the 25th floor of a 1980’s building full of small condominiums. Unfortunately, this 660 square foot penthouse condo lacked everything a person might expect from the top floor. It lacked size, character and interest. The client desired to maximize functionality, create additional storage from unused vertical space, and bring it all together with a unified design and sense of style.

The consistent application of materials throughout the condo, along with creative cabinet options, helped optimize functionality while providing an inviting atmosphere. All the vertical space above the existing closets was used for additional storage, transforming simple rod and shelf closets into custom designed cabinetry. The cabinetry design, with its long vertical handles, helps pull your eyes up to imply a sense of increased volume.
