Modern Kitchen Transformation
Williamsburg, Brooklyn
Client
The Rosen Family
Type
Full Kitchen Renovation
Timeline
6 Weeks
Budget
$45K–$60K
Challenge
The Rosens wanted to turn their dated galley kitchen into an open, contemporary space with better flow and natural light. The main constraints were limited square footage and strict co-op renovation rules, which required strategic planning and clear communication with the building management.
Solution
Elements handled all design, planning, and project coordination. We removed the dividing wall between the kitchen and living area, added new electrical and plumbing lines, and installed custom cabinetry with integrated lighting. High-end quartz countertops, a herringbone backsplash, and matte-black fixtures completed the design.
Results
The new kitchen feels twice as large, with optimized storage and a seamless visual connection to the living space. The family now entertains comfortably and enjoys a brighter, more functional heart of the home.
"Elements turned our cramped kitchen into a bright, functional space. Start to finish was seamless."

Spa-Inspired Bathroom
Upper West Side, Manhattan
Client
Young Professional Couple
Type
Bathroom Remodel
Timeline
4 Weeks
Budget
$25K–$35K
Challenge
The existing bathroom had poor ventilation, aging tile, and an outdated tub/shower combination. The couple wanted a calm, hotel-style bathroom with a walk-in shower, heated floors, and space for two.
Solution
Elements re-designed the entire layout, expanding the shower area and incorporating a frameless glass enclosure. We installed large-format porcelain tiles, a floating double vanity, LED backlit mirrors, and underfloor heating. A custom niche system maximized storage without clutter.
Results
The result is a sleek, spa-like retreat that feels serene and sophisticated. Improved ventilation and waterproofing ensure long-term durability, and the new lighting plan adds a warm, ambient glow for everyday relaxation.
"Great design guidance and flawless execution."
— Noah K., Upper West Side
Full-Home Renovation
Astoria, Queens
Client
Investor Renovation for Resale
Type
2-Bedroom Apartment Overhaul
Timeline
10 Weeks
Budget
$90K–$110K
Challenge
The investor purchased an outdated pre-war apartment to modernize for resale. The unit needed a complete systems update—electrical, plumbing, and HVAC—as well as a cohesive design that would appeal to young professionals.
Solution
Elements managed every phase from permit filing to final staging. We reconfigured the layout for open living, renovated both kitchen and bath, refinished the original hardwood floors, and added recessed lighting throughout. Neutral tones and natural textures tied the entire space together.
Results
The apartment sold within two weeks of listing, exceeding market expectations. The investor credited the renovation's design consistency and craftsmanship as key selling points.
"Quality work, clean site, respectful crew. We're thrilled."

Basement Garden Window Transformation
Brooklyn, NY
Client
Hae P.
Type
Structural Window Enlargement
Timeline
3 Weeks
Budget
$15K–$25K
Challenge
The basement apartment was dark and uninviting, with only a small lift-up window that let in minimal natural light. Despite having a beautiful garden just outside, there was no visual connection to the outdoor space — the only way to access it was through the front door.
Solution
Elements performed a full structural assessment before cutting through the concrete foundation wall to dramatically enlarge the window opening. We designed and built a custom window well with stacked natural stones and integrated side water drainage to protect against moisture. White-framed windows were installed to maximize light and complement the clean interior aesthetic.
Results
The renovation completely transformed the space. Natural light now floods the apartment, and the deep new window sills have become a display for plants that thrive in the extra sunlight. The garden is now visible from inside, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. As an added benefit, the significantly larger window greatly improved ventilation throughout the entire apartment.
"We went from a dark basement to a bright, airy space with a garden view. It changed how we live in our home."
— Daniel P., Brooklyn
