I had a great experience working with MCK+B designer Hany on remodeling my daughter’s kitchen and creating custom built-in furniture for her Tudor City Manhattan studio apartment.



Immediately after signing the contract, Hany stopped by the apartment to not only measure the area but to also get a feel for what will work best for the space. He took his time, made sketches and put together detailed notes.



The project was unique. From the beginning, we had strong opinions on how the cabinets should be put together.  However, during the design phase, we were easily convinced by Hany about the number of changes that needed to be implemented vs. what we initially had in mind.  At the end, the new options proved to be the best ones that worked for the space.



As part of the project, we needed to incorporate some custom cabinetry features, such as large hanging jewelry box, keyed file cabinets, computer desk with hidden space for outlets and wires, radiator covers, etc. They were all tastefully designed and properly constructed.   The stone for the kitchen counters and the backsplash style and texture were carefully selected to work well with the cabinetry. Hany also made sure that the new hardwood floors were not clashing with the finish of the cabinetry and that the appliances, cabinet lighting, glass doors and handles complimented the design.  The work between the designer, installer and the stone contractor was coordinated smoothly, and the entire project was completed within a few days after the cabinets were delivered, without any delays.



Now that the work is finished, everyone absolutely loves the newly designed space! The custom built-in wall unit works great with the new kitchen cabinetry creating a conducive environment for spending time in the kitchen area, as well as in the office /personal space area.  It is amazing to see how a good designer can incorporate so many functions in custom built-in furniture of a relatively small studio.



I also want to acknowledge Geovanny (installer), Ori (stone contractor), Lory (project manager) and Sol (MCK+B owner).  They are a truly professional team and nice people to work with, and they definitely deserve five shining stars!!
