A gut renovation of a 1,940 square foot co-op apartment in Park Slope, Brooklyn, this kitchen, two-bathroom, and laundry room project is built around a single organizing idea: natural materials, executed without compromise.

The Kitchen The kitchen was flipped 90 degrees — a structural decision that unlocked a better floor plan and created space for cabinetry that runs floor to ceiling, eliminating the visual clutter of soffits and making the room feel larger than its footprint. The cabinets are a modern take on shaker style, done in natural oak with a warmth that grounds the room without heaviness. Marble is the focal point: a continuous slab that runs the full length of the countertop and backsplash, commanding the space the way a good material always does. Pendant lighting over the island completes the kitchen, visible from the dining area and anchoring the open living space beyond.

The Bathrooms Both bathrooms follow the same pared-down, modern design direction — no unnecessary detail, nothing that doesn't earn its place. The primary bath takes its cues from Japanese design principles: restrained, precise, and deeply considered. A full-width niche runs the entire length of the shower wall, a custom inset that replaces the standard shampoo shelf with something that reads as architectural rather than functional. The shower controls were relocated so the water temperature can be set before stepping in — a detail most renovations miss entirely, and one that anyone who has ever been hit with cold water will immediately appreciate. The same marble used in the kitchen appears again on the bathroom vanity, tying the two spaces together in a single material language. All hardware throughout both bathrooms is handmade brass, sourced from an English maker — the kind of detail that rewards a close look and signals the overall standard of the renovation.

The Laundry Room A dedicated laundry room was included in the gut renovation scope, properly plumbed and finished to the same standard as the rest of the apartment.

The Process As a co-op gut renovation in Park Slope, the project required full board approval, construction management, framing, plumbing, and HVAC work — all handled by Mammoth as a single design-build firm. For co-op owners in Park Slope, Brooklyn considering a gut renovation, this project demonstrates what is possible when design and construction are managed under one roof: a finished apartment that looks exactly like what was designed, built on time and to budget.
