Manhattan Remodel & Cape Cod Affordable Project

Reviewing the Architectural Floor Plans for the Brownstone Remodel Video

Bob and Chris Vila work their way to the back of the apartment, through the hallway with its Victorian wallpaper, past the closet with original built-ins, and into the bedroom with high ceilings and a door to the back balcony. They are joined by architect Brian O'Keefe who shows the plans for the remodel. To take advantage of the light in the front of the building, O'Keefe has designed a live-in and eat-in kitchen that will move family space to the most desireable spot in the apartment, which is how people like to live today. The dining room is the next room toward the interior of the apartment and has the elevator that separates it from the large, open living area in the middle of the apartment. O'Keefe is looking for high ceilings and hardwood floors in this main living space. The master suite will remain in the back, with a reconfigured closet area, an updated bath, and French doors to the balcony.
