Westchester Condo Renovation

Culture + Chic

A Westchester condo transformed from builder basic into a polished, culture-forward home designed for entertaining.

Project summary

In this Westchester condo renovation, we converted a builder-basic unit into a glamour bachelorette pad. The client wanted a modern home that was comfortable, reflected her African heritage, and was great for entertaining. We sourced custom upholstery, thoughtfully placed existing art, and added a home bar to address these goals. Thoughtful space planning, meticulous detailing, and layers of luxurious materials were employed to create a chic environment that reflected the interests and culture of our client.

Design Moves

Layer custom pieces, existing art, and a bar program into a sharper point of view.

Custom upholstery, thoughtfully placed artwork, and a dedicated home bar gave the interior its social energy. Space planning and meticulous detailing helped luxurious materials feel intentional rather than overworked.

Outcome

The finished home feels chic, personal, and built around the way the client lives.

The renovation turned a generic condo into a memorable home with cultural specificity and real entertaining utility. It reads as polished and expressive while still feeling relaxed enough for everyday living.
