Bathroom Vanities designed, built and installed for Manhattan — pre-war buildings that are never square and boards that decide the schedule. Our New York showroom is on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn, a straightforward run from anywhere in the borough.
New York bathrooms are small, old and full of existing plumbing that is not moving. The vanity has to be drawn around a waste and supplies that are already where they are, in a room that is rarely square, in a building that limits what can be altered. Wall-hung construction helps on both counts — it keeps the floor continuous in a tight room and leaves the plumbing reachable — and every unit is templated on site rather than ordered to a nominal size.
Pre-war apartments are out of square, out of plumb and rarely level. Every run is templated on site, scribes are drawn in from the start, and nothing is fabricated off a plan alone.
Co-op and condo boards run the job. Alteration agreements, insurance certificates, approved contractors, permitted work hours, elevator bookings and a building engineer signing off — all of it precedes the first delivery, and none of it is negotiable. We build the schedule around the building's rules.
Everything has to fit a passenger or service lift and turn in a pre-war corridor. Cabinets are sized to be carried, and anything that will not fit is engineered to assemble on site.
This is the constant. Wherever the job is, a bathroom vanitie from us is put together this way.
A vanity is the piece of cabinetry that takes the most abuse in a house — standing water, steam, heat from styling tools and daily opening — in the smallest space. It has to be built for that and still look like furniture, which is a materials decision as much as a design one.
Moisture-stable cores, sealed edges and a finish specified for steam rather than for a dry room.
Floating the vanity keeps the floor continuous and makes a small bathroom read larger, and it puts the plumbing where it can be reached.
Drawers are notched around the trap so the space under the basin is usable rather than nominally there.

We work throughout Manhattan, including the Upper East Side, Tribeca, the West Village, the Upper West Side and Chelsea. The housing here is pre-war co-ops and condominiums, converted loft buildings downtown, and townhouses across the older districts, and the cabinetry is specified for it rather than to a national standard.
Our New York showroom is on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn, a straightforward run from anywhere in the borough. The showroom is at 1200 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn. Come and see the materials in person, or send the drawings and we will price the job room by room.
Every project is photographed room by room with the materials and the detailing listed, so you can see how a job like this is actually put together before you commit to one.

You can also search every finish we specify and every appliance we design around.
One shop draws, finishes and installs all of it, which is why the closet matches the kitchen and there is one number to call when something needs adjusting.
