In New York City, KS Renovation Group shares a stage in The New York Times with a project that seamlessly blends custom millwork artistry and cutting-edge fireplace design.
Key Takeaways
- Wet-Over-Dry Compliance: Relocating plumbing fixtures or expanding kitchen islands in Manhattan Co-ops requires aligning drainage slopes with existing vertical risers.
- Electrical & Ventilation Planning: Upgrading to commercial-grade induction ranges and integrated refrigeration typically requires a 150–200 Amp panel evaluation and dedicated hood make-up air.
- Pre-Demolition Millwork Procurement: Ordering custom inset cabinetry, stone slabs, and concealed hardware prior to demolition prevents mid-project schedule stalls.
As a distinguished NYC General Contractor, our focus on elevating luxury shines through every detail of this high-rise living room transformation.
Bespoke Fireplace Design: A Symphony of Innovation
78-Inch Custom Burner:
The heart of the space—the bespoke 78-inch custom burner. Meticulously crafted by KS Renovation Group’s Custom Millwork production, this centerpiece marries contemporary design with unparalleled elegance. The dimensions and specifications were meticulously tailored to create a focal point that captivates the eye. For detailed guidance on this topic, explore our guide on 10 Top Materials for High-End Manhattan Projects in 2026.
Eco-Friendly Bio-Ethanol Hearth:
The fireplace embraces eco-conscious living with a bio-ethanol hearth. Beyond its colorless and plant-derived fuel, the hearth is a beacon of sophistication, emitting no soot or carbon monoxide. This unique feature, coupled with the collaborative efforts of Polish manufacturer Planika, redefines the modern fireplace experience.
“In Manhattan luxury renovation, the difference between a stressful remodel and a seamless transformation is decided before construction begins. Complete architectural detailing, proactive board package preparation, and staging every slab and fixture ahead of demolition eliminate 90% of mid-project delays.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I switch from a gas range to a professional induction cooktop in a Manhattan apartment?
Yes, provided your apartment’s electrical subpanel has sufficient amperage. Many pre-war residences have 40- to 60-amp service, so upgrading to a 36-inch induction range and steam oven often requires a board-approved electrical riser capacity check and panel upgrade.
How is kitchen range hood ventilation handled in Manhattan co-ops and condos?
Where exterior facade venting is restricted by landmark or building rules, we engineer high-CFM concealed recirculating filtration systems with activated carbon and plasma scrubbers built seamlessly into custom upper cabinetry.
How long does a bespoke Manhattan kitchen renovation typically take?
Once board and DOB approvals are secured and custom cabinetry and stone slabs are staged in our warehouse, active on-site construction for a luxury Manhattan kitchen typically takes 8 to 12 weeks under standard weekday building work hours.
Can a closed pre-war galley kitchen be opened into the dining or living room?
In most apartments, non-structural masonry or plaster partitions separating the kitchen can be removed or opened with a cased architectural portal, provided gas, electrical, and wet-over-dry boundaries are respected and filed under a DOB Alt-2 permit.
