Concrete Apartment by Fontan Architecture

This is a concrete apartment that we renovated in the Financial District in New York City. Concrete interior finishes play a major role in this apartment, as almost every room has concrete as a primary feature.
The apartment is modern and industrial because of the concrete used. This apartment was originally all white. For this apartment white was just too stark and sterile. The owner of the apartment wanted to add textures, materials, industrial elements, and of course concrete.

We gut renovated the entire apartment. It included removing most of the partition walls, building new walls with a new apartment layout, adding a second bathroom, adding a guest bedroom / home office, raising the ceilings, all new finishes, fixtures, and appliances throughout the apartment.
All materials were new except the wood floor which was refinished. Concrete walls are a major feature of the overall interior design.
