Modern Design Renovation for NYC Condo Buildings
Deluxe, Fresh, Exciting
The In-Site Interior Design team recently completed an exciting interior design project for a pair of New York City condominium buildings located directly across the street from one another. Both properties were in need of a refreshed look that would bring a sense of sophistication and unity. By focusing on the shared spaces—the lobbies and hallways—we were able to create a welcoming environment that elevates the overall residential experience for homeowners and guests alike.
Contemporary and Welcoming Design
We chose a refined palette of cool greys and calming blues, which gave the interiors a fresh and timeless appeal. To further enhance the design, we introduced custom accent panels opposite the elevator banks on every floor. These bold yet elegant panels serve as striking focal points, adding depth and personality to otherwise transitional spaces. The result is a cohesive design language that ties the buildings together.
Our Design Approach
Because one of the condo buildings was larger than the other, our design approach was carefully adapted to ensure proportional balance. Scale, detailing, and material selection were thoughtfully adjusted to suit each space, maintaining harmony without compromising visual impact. Most importantly, our clients were extremely pleased with the renovation, noting how the new design transformed the first impression of each building and created a more polished, welcoming atmosphere. The finished result is a pair of complementary interiors that feel both distinct and connected—a sophisticated upgrade that adds value and style to the NYC condo community.
The Multi-Family’s Sister Building Design
The smaller of the two condominium buildings benefitted greatly from the scaled design approach. By adjusting proportions and simplifying certain details, we ensured that the cool grey and blue palette, along with the elevator accent panels, felt perfectly tailored to the more intimate lobby and shorter hallways. The result are spaces that looks just as refined and stylish as its larger counterpart. This thoughtful scaling down highlights how well the design adapts to different dimensions while still delivering a cohesive, high-end look.
Happy Client Review
Posted on Google shortly after the renovation was completed, one of the Board members had this to say:
“Our co-op board hired In-Site to oversee the design of several building enhancements, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! Given the diverse demands of five board members, our project spanned about two years from the initial interview to conception, finalizing a design, hiring contractors, and final execution. Throughout this entire process, Elizabeth has been an absolute joy to work with (as has Melpi). Her exceptional ability to navigate the different wants, requests, and personalities of our group is nothing short of miraculous. Elizabeth is incredibly responsive and quick to follow up, making communication seamless and efficient. She is truly an expert which was evident in her design, creative solutions and recommendations. She addressed all the things we never thought to consider which made for a successful outcome. When it came time to select a contractor, Elizabeth provided valuable recommendations. Although we ultimately chose a different contractor, which I now consider my one regret and biggest headache, InSite was always ready to offer guidance—and boy, did we need a lot of it. Due to budget constraints, we did not hire InSite to oversee project management of the renovation, but we did invite them back several times to offer direction and insight on the progress being made. During our walkthroughs, Elizabeth was a force to be reckoned with in only the best possible ways. She was well-prepared, highly informative, and persistent, providing a much-needed voice of reason. It has truly been a pleasure working with Elizabeth and the entire In-Site team. The enhancements look absolutely wonderful. We are beyond thrilled with the outcome and grateful for all the help and support provided by In-Site. It was genuinely a pleasure to work with her.
