Stone Remodel - Somers, NY

Cozy apartment gets a makeover, Takumi style. This second story artist apartment in Somers, New York was a comfy spot, but it lacked serious physical appeal. We decided to give it a Takumi style makeover. Removing the paint-peeled wooden steps and plastic shingle siding, made way for a classic stone castle look. Wooden handrails with Japanese artisan style spindles were added as well as a trellis above the garage. Planting beds were inserted beneath. Come springtime, climbing plants will grow up the walls and wrap along the trellis. Inside, the main room ceiling was opened up and thick, old wooden beams trussed across. The result was a vintage room with stronger visual appeal. Scroll down to the video below for a more detailed look inside.
