In this renovation lighting was a priority as windows at the front were almost 60’ away from the kitchen window at the back of the unit. Cove lighting, vertical light strips, sconces, chandeliers, furred lit beams, and dropped ceilings with new smart recessed lighting were added to bring more light into the space. More new ceiling features were constructed than new walls, especially as we worked to open up the unit and make it more functional, bright, and open.

Closets and storage are critical to any home so AGD worked with a semi-custom fabricator to help the client plan for, visualize and organize all the closets — from coat and storage closets to cleaning and bedroom closets.
Many new outlets were planned into the renovation as they had not been added over the years to keep up with new codes, convenience, nor the current modern plugged-in lifestyle. To help the clients best plan locations for new outlets, AGD utilized our furniture plans to strategically locate each outlet. AGD utilized a combination of outlets with integral USB plugs, GFI outlets, plugmold outlets, and Adorne outlets to achieve ultimate convenience and aesthetics.

One of the great design achievements was how AGD reworked the previously small shared bathroom and hall area into a new added powder room and laundry area along with making the bathroom ensuite with a double vanity and separate tub and shower area by eliminating the unnecessary hall area and creatively reworking the surrounding space.

During AGD’s onsite consult with the client we mocked up with blue tape where we planned to demo walls, where demo would end and where new doors such as to the new laundry area would be to help them best plan for their renovation and visualize it from the start.
From smart locks that allowed the client to let guests in and monitor access from their smart phone to motorized window shades on timers to lighting they could control by speaking to it to appliances they could control and monitor from any wifi device — and more — AGD planned numerous smart home features into the renovation.
