Traffjudd: if you have experience in renovation, construction, interior design, enlighten us with your estimate of its cost then? Your comments state assumptions that some may be curious to hear their basis.

Dear Princesslotta: according to DuPOnt this was the first use of Corian as flooring. In fact, we declined their request to photograph and use for their promotional use. It is awesome. Tactile and surprsingly warm to the touch or with bare feet. Of course, almost zeromaintenance which in NYC is what its all about.

Dear Barbara Agatha:

your assumption that the budget was enormous is false. Quite the opposite. Do you really believe that the quality of IKEA should be considered in a community of true design afficionadoes?

People of Apartment Therapy:

First. this apartment was a live/work space. Offices first (hence the Corian countertops, steel rolling island, etc.) and only a temporary living space (hence the cheap storage containers under the sink). Second. if you come from NYC (not San Fran, or some other West Coast LaLa Land) all white is refreshing to the urban dweller's industrial surroundings. NY'ers don't like lots of "stuff." We have enough shit around us all the time.

As for money, there is not one iota in the article about cost. The assump[tions of some regarding cost belie their ignorance and likely inexperience about how to perform top-shelf recon work at below average cost. This apartment's entire gut renovation including HVAC, architect AND furniture cost less than $200 psf. I challenge anyone who spoke negatively (or stupidly) to accomplish the same detail in NYC for anything close to that amount.
