Remodeling an Upper East Side Duplex 

Gut Renovation Combines Two NYC Apartments into One Luxury Living Space

It’s not uncommon in New York City for someone to purchase a two-floor duplex and want to transform it into one large apartment. In the case of this Upper East Side duplex remodel, two previously married doctors had remarried, requiring more space for their blended family. This is where Quadrant Development Consultants’ years of experience renovating luxury residences in the New York City area comes in. Led by Vincent Scotto, the Quadrant team understands the intricacies of performing such a major renovation without compromising the structural integrity of the building. 

For this Upper East Side duplex renovation, Quadrant Development Consultants performed a total gut renovation of both apartments before meticulously cutting out the slab.

“When you are working on combining two apartments that sit one on top of one another, it’s very easy to cause structural damage if you aren’t careful,” says Scotto. “This is why we made the opening between the two apartments by cutting out 12-inch squares one at a time.” 

Once the apartments were opened up, the Quadrant Development Consultants team worked on adding some unique features to the residence, including: 

• A custom steel and walnut staircase with book matched walnut panels
• A white marble master bath with book matched marble slabs
• Powder room featuring a mirror back and a walnut live edge sink top, which is milled from a tree

The completed Upper East Side combined duplex project resulted in a spacious luxury living area with high end detailing and finish work.
