The Project

M and M is a private establishment — a members-only club that needed a comprehensive renovation across multiple floors to bring every area up to the standard the membership deserved. This wasn't a single scope or a targeted repair. It was a full interior renovation covering the ground floor reception and event space, a lower level member lounge and kitchen, new bathrooms on both levels, a wet bar installation, a dry bar, and complete flooring replacement throughout.

Projects like this require real coordination. Different areas of the building were active at different stages, trades had to be sequenced carefully to avoid stepping on each other, and the existing building systems — electrical, plumbing, HVAC — all had to be integrated with the new construction without disrupting the structure. From steel stud framing for the new bathroom partitions to finish millwork on the reception bar, the scope touched nearly every surface in the building.

The result is a completely updated facility — functional, polished, and built to handle the wear that a private club puts on a space every day of the week.

Before

The building was operational but showing its age across every area. The lower level had an unfinished storage room with an exposed drop ceiling grid, deteriorated walls, and no usable floor finish — essentially an unimproved basement space. The main floor event area had worn parquet tile flooring throughout, dated finishes, and a bar area that needed to be fully rebuilt from the ground up. The bathrooms were functional but not up to the standard of a renovated facility. Everything was coming out.

During

The renovation ran on multiple fronts simultaneously. On the main floor, the bathroom partitions were framed in steel stud from bare slab — new walls, new rough-in plumbing and electrical, moisture-resistant drywall, and ADA-compliant layout for the accessible stall. Vanity tops were set and templated while rough-ins were still open for final adjustment before the walls closed in. The reception bar was built from scratch — new framing, drywall, and finish work to match the architectural detail of the existing crown and wainscot.

On the lower level, the transformation was more dramatic. The storage room was gutted, the floor leveled and prepped, new walls framed, and the entire space rebuilt as a usable event and lounge area with a kitchen and a long dry bar with cabinets. New LVP flooring went throughout, new lighting and sconces were installed, and the kitchen received full cabinet, countertop, and appliance installation. The scale of what went in down there — two long bar counters, a full kitchen, and a completely finished lounge — makes the before photos hard to believe.

After

The finished facility is a completely different building than the one we started in. The main floor reception area has a custom-built wet bar with pendant lighting and a refinished locker wall — a proper arrival space for members. The event floor is open and clean with new LVP flooring throughout and updated lighting. Both bathrooms are fully finished with commercial stall partitions, ADA-accessible fixtures, double vanities, wood-look flooring, and recessed lighting — the kind of restrooms a private club should have.

The lower level went from an unfinished storage room to a fully operational member lounge — a long dry bar with quartz countertops and white shaker cabinets, a kitchen with full appliances and countertops, sconce lighting along the walls, and LVP flooring tying it all together. The contrast between the before and after down there is about as dramatic as it gets. Every area was inspected and handed over operational, and the membership now has a facility that actually reflects the investment they've made in it.

Dream. Build. Inspire.
