We’re moving into a 2BR in the Clinton Hill co-ops and are looking to renovate the kitchen before we settle in. I’ve seen the post on apartmenttherapy.com about a CH co-op reno (it’s great), as well as the NYT article from last year. Like the NYT example, we’re looking to tear down a wall and open it up to the living room, but are stuck with two load-bearing columns. As a result, we’re looking for two kinds of advice: folks who have done this type of reno and have words of wisdom about the process, AND folks who can suggest an affordable and wise (!) kitchen designer who can help us think through what’s possible. Thanks!
a lot of people build a book case or display case aroud the support beams. most often, it’s a half wall counter there too (vs. just 2 beam/column from flr to ceiling)
You are most likely going to need to pull a permit. It is just a matter of working with what you have. If you are not looking to work with an architect call: Oshri Elbaz, (917) 468-9350. They do good work and have a nice showroom.
